Hot Tears Cold Fears

for sentimental value or grieving more ~ warmest tears sadly pour within every blink whilst we cry ~ our tear temperatures rises high yet if underwhelmed in sadness and grief ~ icy tears are only brief see a wounded crocodile sob nearby ~ don't hold tissues to its eye By David Kavanagh

Very profound Sir Was just or rather you had me thinking The correlation sincerity versus the inseinserity of tears Tears of Loss Versus Tears of Joy Complete and utterly opposing feelings and emotions That manifest and are both expressed in the exact same way Just wrote one for or inspired by you my main man called Pursuing Happiness Cheers David have a great evening Sir

I think I do Sir Be that the red or blue pil Used properly I suppose that all depends on who controls and gets their grubby little paws on it I.e profits from it Very much exactly just what and like you said Watch this space

Wow David the things and subject matter Science can experiment and look into today I so do wish they could or would spend more time Trying to reset or fix our train of thought But as I say that out loud i have just now realized how that may be a step to far As that is handing over and individuals control and would only be then used Bye the powers that be for devious and stealthy means

The thing is Christopher, tears have been tested in scientific experiments, I’m not sure how they managed that, but they really do differ in temperature depending on how profuse one is crying, they reckon it’s the eyes blinking mechanism that raises the tears temperature, and that the sad tears are warmer, I’m on my way over to check out your work now, cheers David

Wonderful ironic contrasts David! Great observations - hot tears and cold sorrow! Have to agree with you about the "croc!" He's on his own! Blessings to you. Cheers! Sorry, no tears!

Hey Sam, great to hear from you, hope all is well, indeed I’ve no time for Croc tears, leave him be lol, I like the way you put that, ‘hot tear’s and cold sorrow’ sounds about right, cheers David

Well I never knew that David, I suppose people get quite worked up and raise their temps. If I see a Croc he's on his own lol Tom

Heya Tom, imagine scientists figured out tears heat up by the blinking process of our eyes, makes sense the saying, to be blinded by tears, croc tears run a mile lol, cheers David

That final line’s apt!

Heya Kim, (apparently) scientists worked out why some tears are warmer than others, the genuine floods that come with grief are the warmest ones of all, a sad fact (apparently)! cheers David
