What has brought YOU to tears?

Have you ever cried for someone else entierely; have you ever been so happy for someone that you cried tears of joy; have you ever felt someone's pain and cried for them; have you cried because you were so proud of another human being; if i cried for you would you cry for me...
Sometimes pure love makes me cry. Just the concept of it.

And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Oh yea. Crying is a good good thing. It's a feminine release, which is why un-mature males will look down on crying, hold back tears, and poke fun at those who do cry.

Crying is feminine? Since when? I always thought crying was considered 'childish' and this was why it was looked down upon. This is silly too, but I really think it's ridiculous to characterize crying as feminine, whether you think on it positively or not.
Anyways, crying is great. It's a pretty pleasurable emotional release, and I usually end up having a good bawl every couple months.

Yogananda says that women are generally more emotional then men, men are more intellectual or rational. that being said, when a guy does cry, its that much more powerful because it must have been something really great to overcome his rational nature

More gender generalizations that not only damage women, but men as well. These gender traits are socialized and silly. Penises and vaginas have nothing to do with being primarily emotional or rational. These orientations are learned. I can be a pretty cranky spazz (as I'm sure is apparent in my posting,) but I'm also a lot more rational than alot of men I encounter. Men's emotions are mutilated in thier gender training. Women's minds are mutilated in thiers. It's a terrible shame.

LOL, men are LESS emotional? Men are more easily provoked to anger, which IS being fucking emotional.
Anyways, no, I don't cry for people.

Strangely enough I cry relatively frequently during movies, but not in real life. Even if the scene is kind of a joke, as long as there is the requisite emotional exchange happening on the screen with a swelling string score behind it, I'll feel that crying response happen. I can supress it or let it go, depending on the social situation.
Perhaps I am just in a stable part of my life, but things in the real world do not make me cry. Haven't cried from a stimulus other than film for years.
What a weird world we live in

Have fun with your medieval world view. As for me, I'm not interested in such a ridiculous, false minded model of the universe. It's boring and incredibly simplistic, not to mention completely ignorant of the incredible range of diversity that appears all around us.
edit: No one is exactly alike, this is the incredible beauty of existence. Each one of us comes into this world utterly unique. The dividing line has little to do with gender, and much more to do with the fact that each and every one of us is one of a kind. We are much more diverse than dualism allows room for. We are infinitly diverse. Gender is nothing more than fabricated social roles. Each and every individual has incredible potential to form themselves into whatever kind of person they wish to be, given thier facticity (unchanging factors including experience and genetics.) That leaves a whole lot of room to play. Subscribing to formualaic roles denies us vast degrees of potential. This is a damn shame, and a boring way to step up to the miraculous challenge of existence.

I cried when my mother passed away and I fell apart when my brother passed away. and all the sore parts are still just as sore.
when I was in my teens and twenties, I thought it was lame to cry or to grieve. now I see it as a real honoring of the spirits I have come to know as people. Maybe even to see that I loved them more when I took them for granted than I ever even knew.
crying has helped melt the crusty ego. it has brought me closer to everyone who has ever suffered loss.

That's it exactly. It's really a matter of allowing balance rather than trying to create it. It's not about measuring up to a standard, it's about being free. The polarity exists in all of us to some degree, and it should be honored. A person should feel free to cry or not, and be weak or strong. I think yin and yang scale together, so more than a few men in todays society suffer their own emotional core to be seen as something they're not. More than a few women are either running away from being manly, or rejecting their feminine to be manly. The same could be said of men. All because they believe there is something they should not be. People's egos risk becoming the forms they hate, or risk running away from them trying to be something they aren't.
That said, women do sexually embody feminine and men sexually embody masculine, but this is on a different level. Besides that, neither can be suppressed, and comes out eventually, whether the person is aware of it or not. Not crying as needed can be detrimental to ones emotional self. Women tend to cry more often, but this does not make them weak. It's very beautiful, and they should be honored, just as men should for when they cry. It's a good idea to strive for balance whether you are a man or woman, dominant or submissive in the bedroom. Otherwise, what were once real experiences become acting jobs. Hold one down, and you're holding the other down except on an ego level.
So even though self-polarity is the issue, it can all bleed out into sexual polarity, and we end up with a big mess, like boys who are taught not to cry... because it's feminine... might grow a vagina or something. Some women are afraid they'll grow balls.

I always felt emotionally moved after I read The American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser, especially towards the end when the protagonist is sentenced to death for murdering his lover. Yeah that's one specific example.
Generally it would be any courageous, selfless act in a movie or a book that would bring out the strong emotions in me.

The most common things I cry for are movies (The Green Mile, My Dog Skip, etc) and songs ("The Heretic" by The Sound Of Animals Fighting). Rarer crying moments include funerals, but I usually never cry for anybody else, joyful or otherwise.

the connection between family.. a sibling with a lost soul.. moments where everything culminates into one point and everything drops away and everything is so clear that it moves you to tears to realize how much pain and struggle you had been through and how amazing it is to realize that everything is going to be ok whatever happens and nothing can ever completely kill that spark of awareness even if it becomes clouded for months or years at a time

I agree with alot of the things you're saying, but I also think that you're taking it to an extreme. As much as we learn these rolls of being femanin or manly, one of the things that seperates men from women is the endogenous drugs we have inside of us. Men have much more tetosterone than women, and women more estrogen. These drugs play huge rolls in our moods, rationalizations, etc.

And we can learn (if we so choose) to modify our behaviour so that the differences are accentuated. This produces more drugs! It's not for everyone, but if someone seeks strong sexual experiences, or just wants to feel strong masculine or feminine frames, polarity is the way to get there. Being androgynous, or anything other than polar isn't going to produce the same fire of passion that strong polarity will.

Yes! Androgeny is HOT!!
Setting limits around one's expression suppresses the passion of our essential nature, and this is part and parcel of the whole "masculine = man" "feminine = woman" paradigm.
Each human has BOTH aspects contained within their potential individual expression, and the more we allow our own unique mix, the more energy is actualized!
It can be fun to intentionally polarize with a partner, but this polarization need not occur along male/female dividing lines. We can polarize along active/passive, penetrating/receptive, tense/relaxed lines...and any other opposites you can imagine. Limiting this to the male/female is just a cop-out, IMO.

Wow this thread is just full of pseudo intellectuals like Rahz and the like isn't it.
Men have balls. This makes us not act like crying little bitches when something shitty happens. We grunt and move on. That's what being a man is. We are more rational and smart.
Women have boobs and are hot. They are not as smart and rational, but they are more emotional. This makes them good counterparts to men but altogether worthless and weak by themselves. That's why they need strong men like me.
Some of the men in this thread need to grow some balls.

If he has one it's not a good one. I find it easier to just let people who think that way think that way. We'll never rid the world of close mindedness, so just let it go by unnoticed.

I think it is better to expose it for the nonsense it is.

Well, I won't refer to your choices as "archaic paradigms", nor will I call you "sister". I have no ill will here, but it's hard not to make the connection between your apparent disdain for other peoples choices, and your own lack of light. May you find what you're looking for, and I will do the same.

>>>>Men have balls. This makes us not act like crying little bitches when something shitty happens. We grunt and move on. That's what being a man is. We are more rational and smart.
>>>>Women have boobs and are hot. They are not as smart and rational, but they are more emotional. This makes them good counterparts to men but altogether worthless and weak by themselves. That's why they need strong men like me.
If this is what you believe I'm talking about you have totally misinterpreted the message. I'm pretty sure I've already pointed this out. I suppose it's to be expected. Some people get so upset when anyone talks about appreciating and accentuating the natural differences that they are willing to read ANYTHING into my words so that I fit what it is they find undesirable.
If we're talking about dominance/submissive, strong/weak, penetrating/penetrated, passive/aggressive, etc, we are not talking about men and women. We're talking about feminine and masculine. Very different things. If two people (regardless of their physical sex) wish to be intimate, one of them will be naturally more dominant that the other to some degree. People can deny this until the moon floats away. People can deny that the average male has a masculine core, and that the average female has a feminine core. Eyes wide shut.
There are higher states of being, I don't doubt that for a second, and as these states are reached, sex (and polarity) becomes less important to the whole process. But for the majority of people, it's a good thing, and they enjoy creating polarity. A great many people would do just about anything for a relationship that has strong sexual polarity AND strong personal balance between the consenting individuals. A lot of people don't believe it's possible, so they give up on it.
The fact that people get so emotional about this type of topic tells me I'm more right than they're willing to admit.

I'm super-sensitive to other people's emotional state. I cry during the movies. I cry when i sad story. I cry when I see other people start to cry. This made my teenage years particularly difficult because as Robert Smith said, "Boys Don't Cry." I learned to hide my feelings and put on a tough facade, but as I've grown up and gotten beyond adolescence, I've learned to open up again and be more in touch with my feelings.

Lack of light eh? Now there's a leap of judgement if I've ever heard it. Sure, I'm cranky and lack tolerance for what I percieve to be ignorant ideological identity cages. This is because I see so much on the horizon that is obscured by the walls people continually build. Only in tearing down these walls may we broaden our scope of vision.

The archaic paradigms are in the mind, and should be torn down. But referring to the natural duality of sex, and the interplay between them as archaic is looking across the field in my opinion.
Differences, and the interplay between them should be honored, and held as equal. How many sit coms have there been that include the somewhat dumb, irrational man, and the smart somewhat dissatisfied woman? It's like trying to fight slander with slander, but it caters to the masses because they use unrealistic gender portrayal to offset their own unrealistic gender imbalances. All roads lead to Rome, some may take a little longer.
I think our philosophies aren't so far apart. The gender battle isn't really about man vs woman. People are like this because they are unsatisfied with their self relationship, and the result is a sexually frustrated society. Both genders get thrown around, but it is the inner fight which is ultimately being expressed. To hurt one is to hurt the other, is to hurt the self. I honor each person's right to live in bad relationships with themselves, and with others.
The thing is, "we" created society. We've sat up the bad example to gaze at, and there's got to be a good reason for it. If the horizon looks bad, it's just a lack of acceptance for society. A lack of compassion for their right to choose painful emotional viewpoints and experiences. Society is humanity, is us, so disdain for society or possible futures is a lack of self acceptance as well.
To me, this has nothing to do with honoring the natural, non ego created differences between the sexes, or the polar interplay that can occur between people. The problem occurs when one is raised up above the other, when ego gets involved. To me, broadening the scope means discovering and enjoying polarity on a non-judgmental level, not discarding it because it causes uncomfortable emotions.
