Strong emotions can cause tears. It's perfectly normal.

You've never seen people who, when they are REALLY happy, sometimes cry as a response to that kind of elation? You don't get out much, do you...

You just said. Tears 'of joy'. People cry when they feel any strong emotion: joy, grief, anger.

Strong emotions bring tears. Maybe not for everyone, but it's a common response.

People often cry when they're experiencing an extreme emotional response.

Those are not tears of joy. Somebody in the crowd cut one. They always do.

It's just an emotional response. A lot of people shed tears whenever they become emotional
