Fears About Tears?

Perhaps the best advice about tears comes from Charles Dickens, who has Mr. Bumble, in Oliver Twist, declare that crying "opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper. So cry away." Scientific research has also said that you should cry every once in a while but not for the wrong reasons, people often feel and look better after crying, and that people shed tears more often then they realize, studies concluded that 49% of tears are from sadness, 21% happiness, 10% anger, 7% sympathy, 5% axneity, and 4% fear.

For the first time in history, researchers are verifying that crying is good for us because tears appear to reduce tensions, remove toxins, and increase the body's ability to heal itself. In short, scientists are drawing the conclusion that people who are able to cry may enjoy better physical and emotional health. Everyone always makes fun of you for crying. Well the next time, tell them that you aren't crying you are reduce tension and removing toxins from your body. Crying is a good thing don't let anyone else tell you different.
