The    ability    to    weep    is    a    uniquely    human    form    of    emotional    response.    Some    scientists    have    suggested    that    human    tears    are    evidence    of    an    aquatic    past    —    but    this    does    not    seem    very    likely.    We    cry    from    the    moment    we    enter    this    world    for    a    number    of    reasons.    Helpless    babies    cry    to    persuade    their    parents    that    they    are    ill,    hungry    or    uncomfortable.    As    they  ,  they    will    also    cry    just    to    attract    parental    attention    and    will    often    stop    when    they    get    it.    The    idea    that    a    good    cry    can    do    you    good    is    a    very    old    one    and    now    it    has    scientific    validity    since    recent    research    into    tears    has    shown    that    they    a    natural    painkiller    called    enkaphalin.    By    sorrow    and    pain    this    chemical    helps    you    to    feel    better.    Weeping    can    increase    the    quantities    of    enkaphalin    you  .
