Can a human control his crying/tears?
I had a spirited argument with my best friend because of this question:
Does a human being "Cry" because he wants to, needs, to just because? The meat of the question is can one control his tears?
I know that they can be controlled for the purposes of manipulation. As far as controlling them from happening I know I can't help it, but I work a little differently than most so I'm not sure f that's a variable. I don't cry if I'm sad. The inky time I cry is when I'm at my breaking point of anger. Weird I know and I'm not sure why.
I think that know exactly how you feel by your answer. When I as a kid I cried the most, but now I know that I will have to allow myself that opportunity and that' s for me, so my answer is they can control it. . His argument to me was that it just came and I had to tell him not with my body that I carried along with me all these years. So for me crying is not an accident . Thanks you.

I took a test in a class and missed one question. When I took the test, I could see the answer going either way and I knew I could present a good argument for or against my answer. It was multiple choice, so I selected the one that I could present a stronger argument for.I got the question wrong...

When was the last time you cried?I was talking to a gentleman yesterday and I posed this question. He could not even remember the last time he'd shed a tear. If you are one of those people who rarely cries, even in the midst of pain, what do you use as an outlet?

Have you ever been so happy it made you cry?There has only been a few times in my life that great happyness brought on tears. The first time was many years ago when my oldest son was gone for over 11 years. I had pick him up at the air port. My relief and joy came flooding in when he walked through...

I see a lot of monoheists and atheists on these forums - arguing the standards and philosopies regarding God or the lack thereof. I must say I reject both atheism and monotheism and those two characteristics of mine make me ever so popular but that is why I am making the argument for Paganism.This...
