The things that make you cry...

What are the things in life (in general, or more specific computer-related) that can make you start to cry, for sad and/or happy reasons?

 

What happened in Beslan this week.

 

That was truly sad.

 

Wow, your reflexes are quick, Gerard! I'm impressed.

To me, there are three things/categories that always make me sentimental and start to make me cry:

1) The holocaust...
Whenever confronted with this cruel epsiode of our history (or anything simular in present time) I am overwhelmed by strong emotions of being powerless, enormous amazement, sadness, disappointment and yes, anger... I can cry endlessly...

But, on a lighter note I also get tears in my eyes with the next 2 artists:

2) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
His brilliance never seazes to affect me, every time I hear only first notes of a piece by this genius... the tears are there and I'm always moved.

3) Johan Cruijff
IMHO the most brilliant soccerplayer ever. Not only his genius insight in the game; his flawless technique and being a rolemodel for youth.
He's also a very nice, humble and generous person.
>>>Movie tip: Go see "en un momento dado"; a documentary about the person Johan Cruijff, especially about what he has meant to FC Barcelona an the Catalan population and culture. For a review look overhere. Also see "Johan Cruijff-Foundation".

Sure, there are more things that can move me occaisonally, but these three always do the trick...

PC-related stuff is marginal compared to this imho...

Nothing compared to my earlier post.
But yesterday makes me me a bit cry my daughter finished university in Utrecht (NL) and she is an official VET. now.
Next week she leaves for India to start a job for the International Animal Rescue and will stay there for one year. (http://www.iar.org.uk/)
After that year she plans to go to work in the UK. So guys in UK beware of...

Great party last night and recovering from a small hangover,

Gerard

Choping onions, getting hot sauce in my eyes (DON'T ASK), hourseradish up my nose (AGAIN DON'T ASK), hitting my thumb with a hammer, getting private caught in a sipper, no beer in the fridge, sometimes the mother-in-law (LONG STORY), and people who follow blindly (DO ASK). The last one in my humble opion is responsible for quiet a bit of the world's problems.

Thanks

ME TOO

@gerardwil........well good for your daughter ....very nice to learn....good for her

 

Well several things, but I will list the last thing to do it watching the DVD...

The Passion of the Christ.

 

BRAVO for your daughter, Gerardwil!

There is, unfortunately, alot of Beslans and worse happening all over.

Africa makes me cry, so much beauty and so much waste.

Too much to cry over, it would be impossible, if not for daughters and sons, who go on and learn - and keep up the good fight!!

The beslan Situation makes me more angry then sad i mean these terrorists attack a School of Children and parents thats just cowardlly i hope the people responsible are hunted down and shot.

Its also annoying how the Russian Goverment is being blammed for not being prepared i mean its not there Fault they Did the best they Could in that Situation

Smiddy

 

I don't cry so easily.

 

Really well written movies it don't matter if it action comedy horror mythical sci fi anime western etc etc

the movies them selfs don't but the way thought went in to it.

most movies the good guy wins or theres a happy ending or the guy that got killed deserved it

most humans by condition can create in there imagination such beautiful places and in these places most of them good prevails over cruelty or injustice

or the one your meant to be with you end up with

or Human sacrifice for another or the whole world

i often think how can Human's have such beautiful imagination to make great movies or write awsome story's

yet be sooooooo cruel in this world and thats what saddens me

you can create such wonder but in your world you chose to do the opposite

 

hi mr blaze
i fully agree especially --you can create such wonder but in your world you chose to do the opposite-very good point!

to tell you the truth , watching the video of the 'free hugs' video and then reading the text to go with it really made me cry. it shows you how wonderful humanity can be.

go to
http://www.freehugscampaign.org/
watch the video, Then and only afterwards, read the surrounding text

 

... seeing friends fight at Wilder's over something as unimportant as a stupid piece of software!!

When there is something in my eye(s).

 

Any inhumanity towards man.

 

When the components in my PC die

 

That's like being a little pregnant.

 

People. When I see, what they do bad, even pretending, that it is for a good things.
I wished to live in utopia like the Start Trek, but it will never happen, it is just a fairy tale.

 

What happend to Rachel Joy Scott and Cassie Bernall at Columbine High School.

Each time I think about it, I get really sad and feel like crying. Real sad stuff
I can only wish I can be half the person they were.
