OK here is the link to help you.Humans are the only animals that cry emotional tears.
Do you think these tears have any other biological purpose?
What might this purpose be? to relieve stress..my opinion...don't you feel better when you have a good cry...

What makes me cry...hmm Christmas music..at the moment, if my husband gets drunk, thinking about my dad or mom...unfortunately I can go to a thought and the tears will gush so I do well to press these thoughts back , so I can get through the work day.

Answer 2

Tearing is an important part of the lubrication system that helps keep eyes moist and healthy. But tears associated with emotional responses and crying, known as psychogenic tears, are much harder to understand. And there is some disagreement in the scientific community about why humans, above all other living creatures, have the need to engage in crying at all.

Babies cry. Shot.


NO WOMAN NO CRY
Bob Marley


No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
Here Little darlin', don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.
Said, said,
Said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
Oba, Observing the hypocrites
And then Georgie would make a fire light
As they would mingle with the good people we meet,
As it was log wood burnin' through the night.
Good friends we had oh good friends we've lost
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
along the way.
of which I'll share with you.
In this bright future you can't forget your past
My feet is my only carriage,
So dry your tears I say And
So, I've got to push on through, but while I'm gone I mean...
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright. Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright.
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alrigh so, woman, no cry.
No, no woman, no woman, no cry.
Oh, my little sister don't shed no tears.
No woman no cry.

No woman, no cry.
No woman, no cry.
Oh, my little darlin', I say don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.
Yeah little darlin', don't shed no tears.
No woman, no cry.



Versuri Prince - When Doves Cry (1984)


When Doves Cry

Dig if u will the picture
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can u my darling--can u picture this?

Dream if u can
A courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and u

How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry.

Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase u
Even doves have pride

How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold, world so cold
Maybe I'm just 2 demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Answer 4

I'm not sure exactly but I know there can be a hormonal component. Personally I cry at the drop of a hat lately. Seriously I hear a sweet song, see something even slightly sad or touching on TV, or get to a sappy or sad part in a book and I burst into tears. It's driving my fiance nutters but it's only gonna be a week or so of it so he'll live. Long live PMS in all it's glory eh?

Answer 5

When people feel a large amount of emotion at one time a hormone in the brain is triggered and the tear ducts try to compensate for the hormone.

Answer 6

Babies cry. There's no way to avoid it — it's one way they communicate. Since your baby can't flat out tell you, you may worry, "How will I know what she wants?" It can be difficult at first, but a large part of parenting is trial and error and you'll soon learn to anticipate her needs, read her cues, and wipe away her tears. Here are the most common reasons babies cry. If your little one is wailing, work your way down the list and chances are you'll find something that helps.

How can I tell why my baby is crying?
She's hungry
Once you learn to recognize the signs that your baby wants to eat — she'll fuss, make noises, and root around for your breast if you pick her up — you'll get pretty good at feeding her before she starts to really cry. Until then, checking to see if she's hungry is a good first step when your baby cries. Food might not stop her crying right away, but let her keep eating if she wants to. She'll stop once her stomach is full.

She needs a fresh diaper
Some babies let you know right away when they need to be changed. Others don't mind when their diapers are soiled — it's warm and comfortable to them. (Parents are often surprised when they pick up their infant and find she's been sitting in a dirty diaper and never made a sound.) Either way, this one is easy to check and simple to remedy.

She's too cold or hot
Newborns like to be bundled up and kept warm. (As a rule, they need to be wearing one more layer than you need to be comfortable.) So when your baby feels cold, like when you remove her clothes to change her, she'll express her discomfort by crying. You'll learn how to quickly change a diaper and wrap your baby back up. Be careful that you don't overdress her, since she's less likely to complain about being too warm than about being too cold and won't cry about it as vigorously.

She wants to be held
Babies need a lot of cuddling. They like to see their parents' faces, hear their voices, and listen to their heartbeats, and can even detect their unique smell (especially Mom's milk). After being fed, burped, and changed, many babies simply want to be held. You may wonder if you'll "spoil" your child by holding her so much, but during the first few months of life that isn't possible. Infants vary a lot in how much they want to be held. Some demand a lot of attention, while others can spend long periods of time sitting calmly by themselves. If your baby likes the attention, pick her up, wear her in a front carrier or sling, or place her next to you.

She can't take it anymore
While newborns often thrive on attention, they can easily become overstimulated and have a meltdown. You may find that your baby cries longer than usual after spending a holiday with many adoring family members or has periods at the end of each day when she seems to cry for no reason. Newborns have difficulty processing all the stimulation they receive — the lights, the noise, being passed from hand to hand — and can become overwhelmed by too much activity. Crying is their way of saying, "I've had enough." This usually happens when your baby is tired. Take her somewhere calm and quiet and let her vent for a while, and then see if you can get her to sleep.

She doesn't feel good
If you've just fed your baby and checked that she's comfortable (she can be troubled by something as subtle as a hair wrapped around her toe or a clothing tag that's poking her), but she's still crying, consider checking her temperature to make sure she isn't ill. The cry of a sick baby tends to be distinct from the hunger or frustration cry, and you'll soon learn when your baby's cries "just don't sound right" and she needs to be taken to the doctor.

None of the above
Sometimes you might not be able to figure out what's wrong. Many newborns develop periods of fussiness when they're not easily soothed. These fussy periods can range from a few minutes of crying to full-blown colic. Colic is defined as inconsolable crying for at least three hours a day and at least three days a week. Even if your baby isn't crying this much, these episodes may be difficult for you. When all else fails, try the tips below.
