- 0:10the crying game part one
- 0:14tears one might consider them the
- 0:17ultimate embodiment of emotion
- 0:21tears appear when you have experienced
- 0:24some kind of extreme emotion
- 0:27i know this because i have watched on so
- 0:30many occasions as i have sought to
- 0:32understand the circumstances in which
- 0:35somebody cries
- 0:37and why it is that they do so
- 0:41i understand
- 0:44that when tears appear whether it is a
- 0:46welling up in the eyes
- 0:49the single full teardrop which slides
- 0:52down a cheek
- 0:54or
- 0:55the cascading waterfall which leaves the
- 0:58eyes red rimmed and blurry
- 1:00it is as a consequence of you
- 1:03experiencing emotion
- 1:05in a huge dosage
- 1:09what i had to learn
- 1:11was which emotions were associated with
- 1:13the emission of water from the eyes
- 1:16the first emotion that presented itself
- 1:18for my understanding as to how it caused
- 1:21tears
- 1:22was pain
- 1:24i remembered as a child
- 1:27that my younger brother
- 1:29was somewhat accident-prone
- 1:33if there was a tree branch he would fall
- 1:36off it
- 1:37if there was a wall
- 1:39he would fall off it
- 1:42and once he even managed somehow and to
- 1:45this day remains a mystery
- 1:47that he
- 1:48fell off a rug
- 1:51and sprained his ankle the cuts and
- 1:54bruises
- 1:56would have him howling in pain
- 1:59as he lay there sobbing or limped away
- 2:02tears trickling down his face
- 2:06in search of our father to comfort him
- 2:10i saw how a physical injury such as a
- 2:13scraped leg or a bruised forearm would
- 2:16bring forth a flood of tears
- 2:20my younger brother would await the
- 2:22attendance of my concerned father
- 2:24usually brought to the scene by my
- 2:27always caring empathic sister and his
- 2:30tears would be wiped away with a large
- 2:34white handkerchief
- 2:36as consolation
- 2:38and soothing words were administered
- 2:42i found
- 2:43this handkerchief fascinating
- 2:46its cleanliness
- 2:48its purity
- 2:49the ability that it seemed to almost
- 2:51magically
- 2:52possess
- 2:54to take away the pain
- 2:56the hurt that my brother was
- 2:57experiencing
- 3:01i was not accident prone notwithstanding
- 3:04my adventurous nature
- 3:07as a young boy
- 3:08climbing the tallest trees
- 3:10scrambling over boulders and rocks
- 3:13plunging into the river
- 3:15and therefore i was rarely susceptible
- 3:18to physical injury saved that which was
- 3:20deliberate
- 3:23i do recall once catching my hand on the
- 3:26edge of the grill
- 3:28and instantly a sore red wheel appeared
- 3:34i presented myself to my nearby mother
- 3:37as i felt the physical pain in my hand
- 3:42and
- 3:43a welling up in my eyes
- 3:46no tears h.g
- 3:49she announced firmly
- 3:51tears show fears be fearless
- 3:54she instructed me
- 3:56as she cast a cursory glance over my
- 3:58injury and directed me with a pointed
- 4:01finger
- 4:02to the cold water tap
- 4:05no tears flowed
- 4:07the only thing that flowed that day
- 4:09was the water from the tab
- 4:14i understood that tears came from
- 4:16physical hurt
- 4:17but that was not to be for me
- 4:20that was never allowed to happen
- 4:23and thus after a short time
- 4:26even where i did suffer injury for
- 4:28instance breaking my left arm playing
- 4:31football
- 4:33i felt no tears despite the fact that i
- 4:36felt the pain
- 4:39if i ever thought that the tears were
- 4:40coming i focused hard
- 4:43on fighting them back
- 4:45and not allowing any to form for fear
- 4:48of ret for fear of admonishment
- 4:51from my mother
- 4:53what she would do to me
- 4:55would be far worse than the pain of a
- 4:56broken arm
- 5:02around this time
- 5:03as recognizing that physical pain
- 5:06resulted in the production of tears
- 5:08i also stand that understood that tears
- 5:11were generated by sadness
- 5:13and it was my sister
- 5:16who exhibited this the most
- 5:20i would find her in one of her many
- 5:22hiding places about the house and
- 5:24grounds
- 5:25i knew them well as i used them myself
- 5:28and she would be quietly crying
- 5:30i would ask her why she was crying
- 5:34not because i was concerned about her
- 5:36but i wanted to understand what had made
- 5:38her cry
- 5:41thinking back
- 5:42i never felt anything other than
- 5:44curiosity when i saw her with perfect
- 5:47eyes and tear-stained cheeks
- 5:49there was no concern there was no
- 5:51compassion but i did want to know
- 5:55why you crying rachel
- 5:57i would ask
- 5:59mother shouted at me because i hadn't
- 6:01tidied my room
- 6:03she said i was a bad girl and a dirty
- 6:06girl
- 6:07and i don't like her saying that to me
- 6:08h.g it upsets me
- 6:11i would nod in understanding and walk
- 6:13away leaving her alone
- 6:16she was instructive in showing me that
- 6:18sadness caused tears
- 6:21her rabbit escaped from its hutch and
- 6:23went missing
- 6:24so she cried because she missed it
- 6:27i found that somewhat perplexing why
- 6:30miss an animal but it certainly upset
- 6:32her she missed a birthday party because
- 6:35she was ill
- 6:36so she cried because she was sad that
- 6:39she could not play with the other
- 6:40children
- 6:42i found this fascinating
- 6:44if she watched something on television
- 6:47she would often be in tears as she felt
- 6:49bad for the starving children or the
- 6:52victims of an earthquake
- 6:55she would cry and ask my father
- 6:58why did god do these things
- 7:00and he would do his best to comfort her
- 7:02and explain
- 7:05i observed these interactions
- 7:08logged them to further my understanding
- 7:11of the behavior of human beings
- 7:18my father was always good at finding an
- 7:20explanation
- 7:22he was a very bright man
- 7:24well read and with a keen hunger for
- 7:26knowledge which he invariably then
- 7:28retained
- 7:30there was at least something that i had
- 7:32inherited from him then
- 7:35i would watch in fascination as rachel
- 7:37would cry
- 7:38and he would scoop her up
- 7:41or
- 7:43my sobbing injured brother
- 7:46i saw how this demonstration of tears
- 7:49be it through physical or emotional hurt
- 7:52engendered sympathy
- 7:55compassion
- 7:56and caring from him
- 7:59he never rejected them
- 8:02he
- 8:03never
- 8:04barked them to deal with it
- 8:07or get on with it as my mother would
- 8:10invariably say to me
- 8:12but he would always pander to their
- 8:15upset until he had chased it away
- 8:18or removed it as a consequence of that
- 8:22magic white handkerchief
- 8:38it always got them attention
- 8:40from him
- 8:41more than i ever did
- 8:44all they had to do
- 8:46was cry
- 8:48and the sympathy would flow
- 8:50with the attendant attention
- 8:52i learned that quickly enough
- 8:56i
- 8:57by contrast
- 8:58never recall
- 8:59feeling sad
- 9:02i have tried
- 9:04many times
- 9:05and i have no recollection about it
- 9:09whatsoever
- 9:11even the good doctors who i interacted
- 9:13with
- 9:14would ask me about this on numerous
- 9:17occasions
- 9:18how did you feel when something bad
- 9:20happened to you dr e would ask
- 9:23what do you mean by bad i've often had
- 9:26to help him provide some context to his
- 9:28questions i thought he would have
- 9:30learned by now
- 9:32if you did something wrong for example
- 9:33he would clarify
- 9:36i was well behaved as a child i did as i
- 9:38was told
- 9:39i saw what happened if i did not
- 9:42or at least
- 9:43i ensured that i was never found out
- 9:46i see he remarked did your parents ever
- 9:49tell you off
- 9:50yes
- 9:52how did you feel then
- 9:54resentful
- 9:55angry determined
- 9:57i answered quickly
- 9:59sad no
- 10:01upset no
- 10:03how about after the incident
- 10:06i glared at daughtery as i did not like
- 10:08him springing that on me without
- 10:10adequate warning
- 10:12it challenged my control in the
- 10:13situation
- 10:15and i hated him for it
- 10:18at least though he had remembered to
- 10:19refer to it by the label that i had
- 10:21stipulated
- 10:23i remained silent
- 10:26did you not feel sad after that he asked
- 10:29no
- 10:31how did you feel
- 10:34i knew what he wanted me to say
- 10:36but i was not going to give him
- 10:39the satisfaction of thinking that he had
- 10:40coaxed something from me
- 10:43that would attribute that he could
- 10:45attribute to upset
- 10:47to distress
- 10:49to feeling sad
- 10:51it was pointless because it was not
- 10:53there
- 10:54and even though his attempts to take me
- 10:56back to the incident meant
- 10:58that he was trying to
- 11:00provoke me
- 11:02thinking in his limited way that this
- 11:05somehow would cause me to open up about
- 11:07myself
- 11:09he simply failed to grasp that there was
- 11:11nothing there to even open up
- 11:17i remember briefly thinking about
- 11:19whether i ought to try and turn on the
- 11:21waterworks in some way to try and
- 11:23deflect from his probing question
- 11:26i wondered if perhaps i did that too
- 11:30that that would be utilized as a way of
- 11:32manipulating him
- 11:34but i doubted whether i would be in a
- 11:36position to achieve that i simply never
- 11:38cried
- 11:40and besides which i did not want his
- 11:42pity i did not want his sympathy
- 11:46such reactions from him disgusted me
- 11:50they were for the weak
- 11:52they were for the vulnerable they were
- 11:54for the powerless
- 11:55and that was not me
- 11:58i had begun to understand
- 12:00how tears
- 12:02were utilized by people
- 12:04what caused them
- 12:06to aid my understanding
- 12:09however this was one shelf from the
- 12:11imitation game that would remain empty
- 12:14for me
- 12:16i would not be utilizing the tears of
- 12:20hurt the tears from physical injury the
- 12:22tears of sadness
- 12:24in any shape or form
- 12:27not only was it beneath me
- 12:29i did not even have the ability to
- 12:32produce them
- 12:34i'm hg tudor thank you for listening
