I think all people should pay attention to the inner motions of the
soul. The healthiest situation is when we have a capacity to express
every emotion naturally. This of course is not the same as being
an "emotional" person. Someone who becomes easily upset, cries and
sobs regularly and experiences frequent bouts of melancholy is likely
to be clinically depressed. Similarly someone who appears
excessively ebullient especially in public and constantly wishes to
be the centre of attention is possibly a bit off-balance in the
opposite direction.
I always enjoy crying as, these days, it happens too infrequently.
It is a relief to cry just as it is a tonic to laugh. For that reason
humans as social beings seek out reliable friends with whom they can
share feelings and so live more assuredly and confidently in what
might otherwise be perceived as a world of constant adversity.

I notice someone is asking about venues where it is possible to
practise foreign language skills. This is essential. Many people can
keep up well with the writing and reading of a foreign language but
when deprived of all conversation practice their oral fluency and
linguistic confidence can suffer significantly and eventually be lost.

I noticed, also, in previous messages a couple of people were using
the word "joice" as a noun. The word does not exist! One can
say "Rejoice!" . Or "... this is an occasion for rejoicing".
The base word is the very short noun "JOY". "Rejoice!" or "Shout for
joy!"
There is also the girl's name "Joyce" (less fashionable nowadays) and
also the surname Joyce as in "James Joyce" which may or may not have
some connection to the notion of "alegría".

Belated New Year's greetings to you all!
