older than the rain...

Actually, Biblically this is true as well. Before the flood in the Noah's Ark story, do you guys know that there was no rain? That is why God's order for Noah to build a gigantic boat needed enough faith for Noah to follow since something as rain was very far from his experience. In fact it could have added more insult to him as people kept passing by and why would Noah warn of a flood when rain was so alien to their experience.

Hi, really nice way of linking between TEARS and RAIN.. ! Ya we do cry because of any pressure, or unexpected turn-around of any situations,..when we could not digest the loss in any stages of our life. Shedding tears is the way of coming out of the shell of sorrows from our deep heart and gaining confidence to move to the next level., So its better we cry for any mis happenings than to keep on thinking about it. So don't ever try to think why to cry !!! Take care :))

When we weep,or feel very sad,more fluid comes out through the openings of the ducts in the form of tears.It is a reflex action that occurs despite our selves. This happens even when we laugh refreshed after crying--because the tears get rid of these hormones that are produced when we are sad, happy, or distressed....Tears is clear salty liquid often secreted by the lacrimal gland of the eyes

I go along with that!

Rain is an atmospheric condition that occurred long before humans evolved on our planet, so I have to disagree with you there. Anyway, what is the point of your post?

hi zel very interesting deduction ... but i had to really read it over and over again 3 times before my little brain can actually comprehand the meaning cheers

That is very profound, Zelmarq.. Yes human tears are much older than rain..I wonder if Adam and or Eve had shed the first tears when they were expelled out of the garden? That would make me cry, to be separated from G♥d like that..
