When someone cries...

The first sight of a baby crying brings so many emotions with it at the same time..the cry of innocence in particular...as a child, you cry and whine for a candy bar and that means the world to you..as a teenager, you cry when you realize your high school sweetheart left you for somewhere else..when you read the love story that 'moved' your emotions..as a young man, you realize there is something more that you need and you long for companionship, many a time life-long...

With companionship and growing up, the degree of complexity of sadness increases..which is but natural..I guess..Ways of expressing feelings change drastically..as a child, we express our feelings openly not lamenting about what the world will think..as a grown-up, you tend to be inert toward many things, a phrase coined as maturity and also suppress our emotions to be made public.

Crying gives vent to some while brings out the best and worst in the others...it clears your eyes and maybe even the heart and soul...compared to its cousin- smiling/laughing, it always been in the Satanic shadow, but sometimes thats also important. A question in relation that many asked me and even today which struck my mind. Does crying heal your wounds and make you feel better?The answer is debatable and subject to definite approvals.

Both are an integral part of someone's life, in some cases the balance being irregular. But I guess thats what we are born with, something which we know as fate or destiny, if any.

"You and I were looking at old pictures yesterday,
Sitting in disbelief at how time slips away,
Both at a loss for words to say, who knew we'd never be younger than today?"

Part of my random thoughts-a wonderful experiment.

    Wonderful lines!!! Nice post... One I actually like.. :)
    I believe that crying helps a long to heal wounds. I have heard and also believe that when a person dies and we mourn and cry, we are actually making ourselves feel better. If we don't cry and keep it all in that person will never leave us. Crying is a way to let go... Some people might say I don't want to let go and don't cry at all. But yea crying is good.. I think crying once in a while is good..it may be for the worst reasons all the time.. Its powerful to be able to cry over happier things... To be able to be aware of the almighty that is present around us.. I believe that crying over such strong emotions makes one become more aware of oneself... And that I believe is my aim in life.. To be fully self aware!!
