For the countless unwritten thoughts in our hearts and unspoken word from our hearts nothing could ever be painful as the pent up emotions stuck somewhere in your aorta or in between your atria and valves, hindering the normal flow of blood and its circulation within the body, causing chest pains and mild loss of consciousness as the brain suffers the loss of precious oxygen in the process.

What has physiology got to do with any of these? Nothing really, except for when tear ducts can no longer hold the fluids which they contain, therefore releasing them in a form of water droplets to the beat of a woman’s sobs and heartaches.

The body seems to be reacting to the emotions or maybe not. Maybe the body brings out the emotions or is it just the mind? Remember how the brain is the seat of all emotions and thought processes, some part of it called hippocampus, and then therefore it is not the heart that makes us cry when in pain, that which we call weak for when we’re in love but the brain!

Just like when in a situation that calls for tears to fall, if you only think hard enough and analyze critically the scenario, you have a conscious option to cry or not to, such that if you do cry it is not the heart that dictates it because you feel the pain but it is in fact the brain!

Puzzling isn’t it?  Such is the wonder of the human body, the complexity in which we live and the nature of our ways that still amazes us to this day.
