Tearing up , seems to be more prevalent for me as i get older . Perhaps i'm growing up .The 'gold ring scene in Schindler's List " had my tear ducts working overtime , as did much of " We Were Soldiers " . Anything to do with Soldiers , can get me , as do human tragedies , but then , i sometimes tear up at happy endings , things like animals being brought back to health, examples of unexpected kindness etc . I am reasonably " ok" with these displays of emotion , though not 100% comfortable . Strange actually , because , call me a " faggot " , or treat me poorly , i will happily change the shape of your face to your detriment .
