14 DAY TRIAL // The video above made it online just a couple of days ago, yet it has already been viewed more than 100,000 times.
If I were to guess, I would say that this is because everybody is interested in finding out why it is that, on certain occasions, their eyes start leaking a fluid commonly known as tears.
As the video explains, crying because of irritants found in our surroundings is not restricted to human beings.
However, people are the only ones whose tears can sometimes be an emotional response to the circumstances they find themselves in.
Whether they are caused by joy or sadness, emotional tears serve one very important purpose: they help up establish connections with those around us, the video says.
On the other hand, emotional tears might help us better cope with stressful situations.
