I completely agree that "tears are healthy." Tears release emotion, but more importantly they release inner stress and the feelings that accompany that stress. Sometimes, we walk around with things bottled up inside, things that are in all reality affect our health. Sometimes, we don't even shed tears over the things that really bother us, but by the time we finally let them go, it's over something that we wouldn't otherwise have cried about. Tears make us human, the inability to cry often means that we've hidden our emotions away. Savage lived in a world devoid of emotion and feeling..... he was right.
