  People cry when they feel very sad. They cry when something terrible happens, like a death in the family. They cry when they feel very sad or very angry, they cry when they know they cannot do anything about a problem, and they feel helpless.

  They also cry when they feel very good. They cry when they have been very worried about something but find out everything is all right. They cry when something wonderful happens.

  In the United States until lately, men were not supposed to cry. Crying was weak and only for women. Men were supposed to be strong. But things are changing. Men are beginning to realize that it is all right to show their feelings. Women are learning that sometimes they can do something about a problem instead of just crying. They try not to cry in a public place or in front of a frightened child.

  Chemists have been studying why people cry. They say the body produces two kinds of tears. One kind cleaned out the eye if it gets dirt in it. But when people cry because of their feelings, these tears have poison chemicals in them. The body is getting rid of chemicals produced by strong feeling.

  In the United States men have heart disease more often than women do. Doctors say heart disease and some other are connected with the pressures of living and working in a modern society. Perhaps men suffer more from these disease because they do not cry enough. And it is possible that as more and more women work outside the home, they will also suffer from more pressures. Then everyone will need to cry more.
