Tears . Eyes . Imamah . God (Allah) . Intention (Niyah)
It brings tears to my eyes when I read that all our Imams were mazlooms. Why did they suffer so much? Was Allah not intending them to win?

Allah is always Intending everything done by everyone. The Prophets like Yahya was killed, and all our Imams had suffered a lot. They are the real winners despite all their sufferings, torture and martyrdom. Our life is not limited to this world but it goes on for our long future after this life, where we will see the results of our deeds. Allah Has Said in Quran : We Will definitely support our messengers and the believers in this worldly life and on the day of resurrection. (Sura Ghaafir, verse 51).

Bismihi ta'ala

Location should not affect the ability to weep and shed tears for Imam Husain (a.s.), as when you hear the musibah of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), you should completely zone out from everything else and express your grief. 

Of course, it is always best to attend Majalis in person, participating in the mourning ceremonies with other believers and increasing the number of devotees who commemorate the tragedy of Karbala. 

And Allah knows best

Tears . Salah (Prayers) . God (Allah) . Dunya
If a man or a woman sheds tears in their prayers, but are not sure whether it was out of love of Allah and other allowed reasons or instead for matters of this world, are their prayers valid?

Shedding tears during Salah does not invalidate the Salah if it was not for a worldly matter.
