There is no doubt that crying is not pleasant, but whether we like it or not, crying is an inseparable part of human nature, so much so that it is the first thing a newborn does when it arrives in the world, and it is the first form of communication that the baby has. The reasons we cry are varied: sadness, frustration, anger and even joy, so it is worth exploring this emotional manifestation that we have all experienced at some point in our lives.
