The Mystery of Tears

Tears unite us as humans. We're the only species that cries. Charles Darwin himself was at a loss to explain this uniquely human trait, describing it as that special expression of man's. Dr. Keltner points out that there's really three kinds of tears, three categories of tears. The God with sacred tears comes down into the heart of humanity and is moved by what we experience. Many people view the Bible as a distant, archaic book of morality from another time that hurts people in the modern world.
