      Hello, water comes out of our eyes in order to clear the eyes out of debris such as dust. As to why it is linked to crying I think this is how our brain is wired, so it is reflex, and I think I’ve read something about getting rid of body toxins created as a result of dust/ inhalation of noxious gas and/or negative emotion 🙂
