		<description>I&#039;m a 50 year old male that cries nearly every day now. At least half the time it&#039;s not about me. I cry alot thinking about things in my internet friends&#039; lives. And I&#039;ve never even had any contact with them off the internet. And I cry for animals. It&#039;s always in private, and I can straighten up fast if I need to attend to something. Lately I have been crying more often for myself as the economy worsens and a return to a better life seems increasingly  hopeless. I went years without crying when I was younger, and I cried at appropriate times in other years when I was younger. But it seems I can trace the daily crying back to the time I successfully quit smoking cigarettes 7 years ago. I don&#039;t know if that might indicate some chemical imbalance, or the nicotine steeled my nerves, or if the cigarette habit provided me a distraction.</description>

		<description>I thought it was a good article, i was searching about weather its only humans that cry and found this an interesting read.

I can&#039;t understand the mentality of some people on here though, obviously &quot;Charlotte Thorpe&quot; has some issues, she or he was obviously looking about crying too, to then dismiss what he/she found because of their background maybe your daddy beat you or something more synster.

but i get the Jist of what is being said on the article, we cry to compensate for the over use of chemicals in our body to release them, thus releaving the &quot;sorrow, pity,stress, anger and laughter (we&#039;ve all found something redicoulsly funny, and have ended up crying while laughing) i&#039;m guessing too much of an emoitional chemical in the body which is released can be a bad thing, so it expells it quickly and easily through the tear ducts, bringing the levels back to a sustainable level, i mean it wouldn&#039;t be fun to live if every emotion you felt was rocketed out of you via your bladder or some other unholy place.

we are a species that relies heavily on our emotions, so a natural way of removing too much chemicals released would be the obvious quickest way.

So i suppose people who cry for no reason have less tollerance to the chemcals so the body dispells them sooner than an average person</description>
