Art definitely moves us – but that sort of honor isn’t reserved for just the “high art” of masterpiece paintings or sweeping concertos.
The pop culture kind of art, the common stuff, the entertainment we surround ourselves with daily – that can be just as moving.
Want proof? Just look at this trending meme on Twitter were people point out the one moment from a TV show they love that can make them cry instantly.
10. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Not my favorite Trek but still some pretty great moments.
Okay I’m doing the meme

You can be moved by just about anything that speaks to you personally. Keep finding those TV gems and enjoying the heck out of them.
What frame from TV could make you cry? Or movie, for that matter?
Tell us in the comments. Let’s all cry together.
