What makes you cry?
I do cry easily. I tear up practically two or three times a week just watching the news or during conversations about various things w/ my friends. These are the things that can make me cry if they hit me at the right time:
When I see or hear about violence against babies or children
When I see or hear about violence against domestic animals or other inhumane treatment of them
When I see or hear about extreme pain or violence between domestic partners, at least under several circumstances. I volunteer in this area, so I see a lot of it and am a lot less sensitive about it than I used to be.
When I hear hatred and racism, which are the same thing, and when I see terrible poverty
When I look at my enormous son and think that he was once just a little infant baby boy and now look at him. Where did the time go? (I teared up as I wrote that.)
When I miss my sister or hear of anyone having to suffer through cancer or painful terminal illnesses. I cried last year when Geonagual was going through the loss of his mom. (I teared up as I wrote that.)
When I think about past pets who've had to be put to sleep.
When I think about the fact that my parents are getting older and frail and won't be around forever, particularly my mom.
When I think about two of my now deceased grandparents who I was particularly close to or when I think about the pregnancies I miscarried and wanted so badly to be able to successfully carry to term.
I will cry like a baby this May when my son graduates college. He's already bracing his friends for it.
I'm not constantly sitting around in a weepy puddle about these things, but when something catches me on a deep emotional level, I'll cry about it and not just let the emotion go unexpressed. I need to get mad more of the time than I do. Several of the things up above get me mad, too, like hatred and racism and violence against children/animals/domestic partners, and I need to express it more as anger than I do.
Lest y'all term me a basket case, I'll add that I cry for joy a whole lot, too. And I laugh way more than I cry.[SIZE=\"4\"]\"That best portion of a good man\'s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.\"[/SIZE]
