Obviously crying is the result of feeling strong emotions. But is there a physical/biological reason for it? What is the purpose of tears and wet eyes?

    Mostly because I’m a failure at being a functional human being. Sometimes it’s because I stubbed my toe, or I hit my funny bone. Usually it’s the soul-crushing despair, though.

      As if you’re perceptive enough to know whether or not you’re a failure at being a functional human being.

      Maybe if you tried harder.

      Edit: apparently it wasn’t clear enough that I’m not serious

        “All you need to do is this thing that I can do and if I can do it, so can anyone else.”
