Keep from Crying while cutting Onions

Due to their strong and penetrating aroma, every time we cut onions we end up crying. For this reason it is extremely important to keep your knife nice and sharp in order to avoid squeezing the onions juices into your nasal duct, which causes your eyes to water instantly. There are many theories out there I personally do not recommend such as using sunglasses, breathing through your mouth, soaking the onion in water, and even closing your eyes while cutting onion.
