In Remembrance
|
Just happened across this this morning. Fits in with a lot of my current reading. How emotional do you get? How often do you cry? Has it always been thus?
From "Why We Cry" - "Physiologically speaking, emotional tears are elicited when a person’s system shifts rapidly from sympathetic to parasympathetic activity—from a state of high tension to a period of recalibration and recovery. Depending on the circumstances, individuals typically describe such shifts as “letting go,” “going off duty,” or “giving up.” Of course, nothing is literally “released” when these biophysical changes occur, although the person’s adrenaline level drops and the body relaxes." <so what happens if that shift is blocked in some way?>
