“Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart,
with fasting, and weeping and mourning;
Rend your hearts, not your garments
and return to the Lord, your God.
For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness,
and relenting in punishment.
Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing,
Offerings and libations for the Lord, your God.”
Joel 2: 12-14

Joel was a poet: rend your heart, not your garments. Let your sorrow be genuine and not merely for the sake of demonstration. Talk about insight.
