so in seeing someone you havent seen in over 10 years for the first time, youd want that feeling to last forever?

You have almost no control over your tear ducts. When people are very happy, it produces the same chemicals in your brain as it would if you were sad and causes them to cry. So yes, you can cry tears of pure joy.

Ever wonder why the chemicals in the brain are the same? Maybe happiness and sadness are more closely related than people would care to admit.

Or they're both just really powerful emotions ...
