Tears are forms of emotion and expression. Everyone has their reasons of why their tears may fall.
Tears come with the joy of a newborn baby, the very sight of a miracle entering the world, or when you’re laughing so hard that you cry those tears of happiness.
Some tears fall for personal reasons that are not easy to discuss, but reasons that many can relate sadness to.
“My reasons for letting tears fall recently is because I am 2,000 miles from my girlfriend until June and because she lost our baby due to a miscarriage,” Ronnie Abel, junior, said.
There are definitely tears of sadness, sometimes because of losing a loved one to an untimely death like a mother or father or even a child. People grieve for a long time when these situations occur and they’ve lost someone that means so much to them.
A forceful move can make some cry because it means being away from someone that is cared about.
“Usually, when others cry I cry out of sympathy. I was forced to move away from Corpus Christi and had to move in with my dad. I’m two hours away from my girlfriend now,” Otis Sparkman, junior, said.
Whether they are tears of sympathy or any other reason, crying from one person can cause others to feel sad as well and start crying.
Sometimes physical pain to the body from working out or lifting something wrong can induce tears
“I guess I cry because of severe muscle stress,” Anthony Chelf, junior, said.
Tears come from various emotion and from physical pain. Don’t think someone is sad just because they are crying. Various emotions cause various amounts of tears.
