What are they and why do they arrive when we’re feeling miserable? I.e. what is the reason for them being produced? if its ‘cleaning’ well thats pointless as a person who never cries wouldn’t get them hence their purpose for him would be useless.
Wikipedia :Tears are the liquid product of a process of crying to clean and lubricate the eyes. The word lacrimation (from L. Lacrima meaning Tear) (also spelled lachrymation) may also be used in a medical or literary sense to refer to crying. Strong emotions, such as sorrow or elation, may lead to crying. The process of yawning may also result in lacrimation.
