It’s never about how many tears you’ve cried, but rather about the fact that you are open enough to cry them. More concerning, are the ones whose tears don’t run.

If tears were painful, no one would cry.

Tears are a cleansing shower for the soul.

And tears came before he could stop them, boiling hot then instantly freezing on his face, and what was the point in wiping them off? Or pretending? He let them fall.

    Oh, devil, devil!
If that the earth could teem with woman’s tears,
Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.
Out of my sight!

When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.
