It may have to do with somethings that's called the "Pineal Gland".<BR/><BR/>Bright light raises levels of serotonin during the day to keep you alert and full of energy, while the dark we get from night raises our levels of melatonin to help you sleep. It's like our body's inner clock. It can also be referred to as Circadian Rhythms. Our timing of sleep, the production of our hormones, body temperature, and other biological functions need the proper serotonin and melatonin levels to function properly.<BR/><BR/>So naturally, when it's cloudy and raining the Pineal Gland doesn't screte as much serotonin. So yeah. I suppose we just end up feeling sad while we're lazy. <BR/><BR/>Perspective is also key I think. Personally, I think the rain is beautiful. Hell, I'm 15 years old and STILL go out and play in it. :D<BR/>But some might feel like they're cut off or HAVE to stay inside because of the rain. Limited, you know?<BR/><BR/>Why anyone would associate rain with emotion's such as sadness is slightly more understandable with all this in consideration.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, sorry this is so long. I'll stop rambling now and end this, but I hope this is helpful for you! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14865565.post-50416146726703352122008-01-26T00:40:00.000-05:002008-01-26T00:40:00.000-05:00rain drops are kind of like tear drops...but hey, ...rain drops are kind of like tear drops...but hey, sometimes we cry when we LAUGH!!Linda Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075999139866870491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14865565.post-15486681365476712202008-01-21T05:47:00.000-05:002008-01-21T05:47:00.000-05:00thats so beautifulthats so beautifulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
