3-Choronicle of tears

Types of tears
I always thought how many types of crying we have? So here I begin investigating various kinds of cries we human have. In order for me to explain myself better I have divide the process of crying into two main division and within them into various subdivision. This ‘I’ would apologize for such cruel way of categorizing humans emotions, but this ‘I’ does not apologize for expressing what he think is ‘is’!
i- Pre-birth stage:
1- News of possible ‘You’(1 and 2 months after fertilization): This is the very first time that you and your life will experience this powerful tool of emotion, weeping! You parents, relatives are informed about the creation of ‘You’. They may cry for whatever reason. The mother cries due to excitement of becoming a mother. She may cry due to not being ready for motherhood, a so call unwanted pregnancy or......Although we are not yet alive or smart enough to recognize crying, our life begins with tears.
2- Moments before birth/labour: Let me just apologizes for been unfair and jumping 7 to 5 month to the future and skipping what may have been important ‘weeping’ periods of your life but I cruelly assumed that the reason behind those cries are the same as the reason for the past cries, just a repetition, a so called amplification of already known reasons. Now I want to fast forward to the moment just before the birth of the ‘You’ or this ‘I’. The first thing that a child hears when he comes to this physical realm is the cry of his own mother due to the pain of labour or due to happiness of becoming a mother or..... Maybe the mother doesn’t cry but no matter what the first thing that a child learns is to do is to cry as soon as he or she can inhale air. No one can really know why a child cries but the major reason is due to the pain of labour and some say to clear the lungs. I don’t know the reason behind it but what is important is that it another weeping period of one's life! Life begins with ‘You” crying.

ii- After birth:
There are many stages, I can know up to my age and speculate the rest.....blame my age and lack of worldly experience and my human nature and character if you don’t like my cruel classification.
1- 0-5: Most of our tears are due to excitement and curiosity. Due to confusion and feeling small. Not knowing what to do. We mostly cry in this age category as it is our only tool of communication and protection we have available.
2- 6-10: We cry mostly due to frustration and embarrassment. Time to time we cry due to pain. It is in this age category that the ‘I’ is confronted with the quote, “you are man/women now, man/women don’t cry in your age”. We begin to think about the reason behind our crying and slowly learn to suppress it without really understanding that quote! All we know you cry=no good!
3- 11-15: Tear and cries turn into anger and arguments and fights or are only resulted from them. We cry only when we are alone, or we cry only when we really trust someone and we want them to know how we feel. We cry when we are stuck and do not know what to do. At this age cries are mostly result of either physical fights, especially after we lost a physical combat, or when we really can’t deal with the ups and downs of life . In some magical way our emotions are felt like they are collecting in our throat creating suffocation feeling, and you just have to cry, mostly due to panic attacks.
4- 16 and 21: You only cry when you’re alone. You never show any emotional weakness. Life becomes a battle ground and your weakness, your emotional issues becomes a sign of your weakness for others. Emotional weakness turns into myths to you, even though they are as real as it can be, you just make yourself feel like it has just died within you. You cry alone, and in many cases you just cry without knowing why you do so! You mostly cry when you are drunk! You cry and are confused why you cry because you have begun ignoring your feelings for too long that the reason for your tears are not one and two, there are many. And that how depression takes over your life!
5- 22 and 40: You tend to look at feelings more maturely. You slowly change your idea about emotions. You begin to work with it. You slowly grow into learning more about it.
6- 41 and above: Now you probably have kids and grand children. And as you pass this magical period you become more like the kid you used to be back in stage 1. You learn from your kids and grand children what being “1” was like. You become more sensitive as you cannot take it anymore. Life has done its damage to you and you want to feel free, and keep you mind free of emotions. You may cry less but the tears and the time that you are crying is more longer and are much more intense. And in most of the cases you just cannot control it. For women’s the tears become less but more often!
