why do people cry what makes them cry?

Question

why is it mostly when were sad

Answer 1

I think it's a natural reaction in our bodies and minds.

Answer 2

I think people cry when they are emotionally or physically hurt. I cry when others suffer. I cry when I look back on a failed marriage and wonder what I could have done differently to save it. Crying is cathartic in a way, it helps to release pent up frustrations and sadness in an appropriate way instead of going out and hurting others.

Answer 3

Tears are a liquid produced by the body's process of lacrimation to clean and lubricate the eyes. The word lacrimation may also be used in a medical or literary sense to refer to crying

Societal aspects

Most mammals will produce tears in response to extreme pain or other stimuli, but crying as an emotional reaction is considered by many to be a uniquely human phenomenon, possibly due to humans' advanced self-awareness. Some studies suggest that elephants and gorillas may cry as well.

In nearly all cultures, crying is seen as a specific act associated with tears trickling down the cheeks and accompanied by characteristic sobbing sounds. Emotional triggers are most often anger and grief, but crying can also be triggered by sadness, joy, fear, humor, etc.

In many cultures, crying is associated with babies and children. Some cultures consider crying to be undignified and infantile, casting aspersion on those who cry publicly. In most western cultures, it is more socially acceptable for women to cry in public than men, but this is certainly not true for all human cultures.

An insincere display of grief or dishonest remorse is called crocodile tears, from the ancient anecdote that crocodiles would pretend to weep in order to lure prey [3].

Many religions describe gods or prophets as crying:

* According to a hadith, the prophet Muhammad proclaimed: "This (tears) is an expression of the tenderness and compassion, which the Lord hath put into the hearts of His servants. The Lord doth not have compassion on and commiserate with His servants, except such as are tender and full of feeling."
* The shortest verse in the Bible (in the King James Version of the Bible and some other English translations) is simply: "Jesus wept."
* Jade is sometimes known as "tears of the Buddha".

* The Incas referred to silver as the "tears of the moon".



Spiritual aspects

The Gift of Tears in Shin Buddhism: Tears of joy and grief cleanse our souls. Christians as well may perceive tears as spiritual gift when they refer to Gospel of Jesus Christ: "Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh" (Luke 6.21), while Weeping Icons are a common feature of the Easten Christian Traditions. Tears play an important role in the Eastern Christian Mystic Theology.
