"And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid."
Which one are you? I think the outcome depends on your experiences. If you experienced several failures, then you may weep with joy when you achieved your dream like how Joseph wept! When Joseph saw all of his brothers, he wasn't able to control himself anymore that he had to make them go out from him. "And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it. and the household of Pharaoh heard it.(Gen 45:2)" Joseph wept aloud that almost everyone heard it! It is just like how those old men wept aloud, "So that the people couldn't distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people's weeping."
Joseph realized that his crushed dreams had their purposes! He realized that he couldn't achieve those dreams if God hadn't crushed them by putting him into slavery, and even into prison. Although God didn't literally crushed Joseph's dream He carried him through those trails like the labor pains before Joseph's dreams may be birthed. So like a father, Joseph wept when he saw his Dreams coming out of a mother's womb who once miscarried other babies, well who wouldn't!
There are much more to the sounds themselves, for there are some effects behind the sounds that had caused the sounds to appear. The effects made us all unique in His sight, like a beautiful music! Our different backgrounds and experiences sound beautiful to Him as he saw different stories of our lives, but do we also view them the same way?
