I think there must be something to this. Memories triggering reactions in the brain. I recall a bad tornado movie causing the tears to flow uncontrollably, and the closest I had been to a tornado was at age 8, while I was in the basement and our roof got torn off. I did not cry at age 8, but 20 years later the memory of that stupid event got the better of me. We are soft, and squishy, but it's ok. It confirms we're human.
