"Weeping is one of the mechanisms that humans use to get rid of some toxins. Tears may be involved in removing waste products or toxic substances from the body. Perhaps that is why so many people say they feel better after crying."

The chemical components of tears are far more complicated than one would imagine. Li Jin introduced an interesting experiment conducted by American scientists. The scientists first had some volunteers watch a sad movie, and then they collected their tears. Later they had these volunteers cut onions to generate tears. Chemical analysis afterwards showed that the tears collected from cutting onions are very different from those created by watching a sad movie.

Some people may think that crying is just a loss of control and a sign of weakness. But actually, crying is a form of stress release.

...

"When you feel pressure, frustration, sorrow or anger - any negative emotions - you should take effective measures to release them. Stress is terrible for the health of your brain, heart and other organs. Crying is natural, healthy and curative. So don¡¯t wait until your sadness becomes a depressive disorder."

哭是一种疏解压抑情绪的管道。哭是一种人的本能。哭是自我的，放纵的，没有负担的。

哭没有错。重要的是哭过以后依然能重拾属于自己的快乐。重新站起来，重新面对一切。哭不是保护伞也不是方舟。但哭是情感的气垫，让人在面对现实的同时也有能倚赖的支撑点。哭不是解决方案。但哭能让情绪有个缓冲期。哭吧！但哭完之后请记得重拾自我。信念是会永继经营的。

当然，肿得可以的眼睛是必然的代价。^^
