    People say that they feel so much better after a "good cry". Is that just because they are letting out their emotions, or is there also some physical reason for the upswing in their mood?

    Question #66586. Asked by fernster.

    Crying is another one of nature's stress-relieving strategies. Psychiatric chemist William Frey, Ph.D., showed that not all tears are the same. Unlike tears caused by eye irritants, emotional tears contain abundant amounts of adrenaline and other stress-related chemicals.

Also why did he dislike Faramir so much, was it just because he was second born or was there something else?
