Crying-the mystery

Why do people cry? More importantly why do some people cry more than others? I personally don’t think crying is a virtue all girls posses and it is exclusive to them and to sissies. Boys grow up to be resistant to crying. They learn to inhibit it. I read somewhere that once a boy or any man for that matter experiences strong emotions that cause him to break down, the process continues and he becomes less resistant to holding back his tears. It has something to do with opening a channel between the right and left sides of the brain. [I tried getting hold of this concept but I can’t find it anywhere]. When you feel strongly about something why not flaunt it? You laugh when you’re happy so why not cry when you’re upset or overjoyed? Why should it remain a hidden issue? Personally I have a very high emotional resistance-meaning that I’ve never cried while watching a movie or reading a book. However, if someone I love says anything rude to me or upsets me, the tears come pouring out. Therapeutically, the failure to cry is dangerous to our health-mental health. Crying any day helps you get the strong emotions out of your system. It makes you feel better.
