We cry when something is sad. Then we often shed a tear when something’s beautiful as well. When something’s funny or ugly, we laugh. Perhaps we are sad when something is beautiful because we know that it won’t last for ever. Then, we start laughing when something is ugly because we understand that it’s only a joke.
