Question

why do people cry when they feel sad?

Answer 1

Seth: Why do people cry?

Maggie: What do you mean?

Seth: I mean...what happens physically?

Maggie: Well...umm...tear ducts operate on a normal basis to lubricate and protect the eye and when you have an emotion they overreact and create tears.

Seth: Why? Why do they overreact?

Maggie: [pause] I don't know.

Seth: Maybe...maybe emotion becomes so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful.

Answer 2

i think people cry when they feel sad because they often think about bad thingz and the heart cant take it and the emotion goes to the eyes but that's a good question
