A baby’s cry—why does it carry so much frustration?

A baby’s cry—why does it carry so much frustration?
A child who has been neglected or ignored at an early age initially reacts with distress. They scream, desperately trying to draw attention. If no one responds, the crying grows louder. Eventually, it turns into a cry of pure anger, escalating to a state of rage.

A child’s tears always have a reason.
If no one acknowledges that reason, the crying intensifies. If ignored further, it transforms into anger. That anger doesn’t disappear with time—it lingers, burning within, sometimes erupting in overwhelming emotions even in adulthood.
Inside each person, there may still be a child who cries, unheard. And the one who can truly comfort that inner child is none other than oneself.
