The abandoned infant's cry is rage, not fear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Death is not a word to fear, any more than birth is.
One way to make a baby cry is to expose it to cries of other babies. There's sort of contagiousness to the crying. It's not just crying. We also know that if a baby sees another human in silent pain, it will distress the baby. It seems part of our very nature is to suffer at the suffering of others.
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
Fear usually looks like anger.
The powerlessness of the child is often forgotten. And after it comes the terrifying phase of moving into adulthood.
It's a sad moment, really, when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.
There should be weeping at a man's birth, not at his death.
There's nothing more haunting than the cry of a child that cannot be returned with food - the most fundamental expectation of every human being.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
A child understands fear, and the hurt and hate it brings.
