I felt overcome: That tears mark our recognition of sacred forces in our lives, and in particular sacred people, is revealed in a stunning video worth watching. It is a one-minute film of a nine-month-old infant who, with new hearing aids, hears her mother’s voice for the first time. In the short clip the mom vocalizes in the musical intonations of motherese—“Hi . . .” “Are you going to cry?” “I love you.” The infant first smiles with bright eyes, and then tears up and emits a few high pitched aahs, quite clearly overwhelmed in hearing her mother’s voice for the first time. Christy Keane Can. “My baby hears me for the first time and is almost moved to tears!” YouTube video, 1:05, October 14, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Q5kO4YXFs.

Alan Fiske has proposed: Fiske, Alan P. Structures of Social Life. New York: Free Press, 1991. Fiske argues that we relate to others in one of four basic ways (and their combinations): in a communal fashion; a market-based fashion of exchange; a hierarchical fashion, as one would in a military or religious organization; and in equality-based ways, as in good friendships. This thinking has had a profound influence upon our study of emotion. It led us to think about how emotions, through their shaping of social interactions like flirtation, teasing, or ceremony, are the basic language of our relationships.
