Why the crying baby always gets milk

How many times have all of us seen this happen? at home..at work..in school/college..almost always and everywhere. If this always happens, wouldn't there be a reason for it? A proper reason I mean...

So let's think through this....What actually happens when the baby cries? (not literally folks..please grow up!!)? Well the baby is expressing itself...expressing its concern..pain..displeasure...non-acceptance right? So take a step back and try looking at a baby which is unhappy but isn't crying - ''How would I know you are concerned...pained...unhappy..."I WOULD NOT RIGHT??!!! Coz I am not a mind reader or an ace psychiatrist or an astrologer? So how do you expect me to know what you are thinking?

Now, how many times have we heard the other person (parent, teacher, boss, peer worker) say this - " Had you told me this at all....then I would have taken care...." and you were mumbling inside to yourself - " I thought you would understand without my saying...!!!!" This happens in personal lives as well surely; between friends or couples or siblings and within families....

Recollect the essentials of communication - SETTING EXPECTATIONS. Remember? Most if not all of us seem to have missed it completely. Speak up....Express Yourself. At least do we remember that non-verbal communication is 93% (rite?) of overall communication. So why aren't we crying and making ourselves heard?

Having understood it so well, why haven't we tried changing it and become CRY BABIES!!!??? Me thinks (at a philosophical level though) that it is probably because as we grow older, we physically and emotionally are becoming less fragile and weak (which as babies we actually are) and hence are expected to and be able to put up with things around us.

Maybe a good bunch of us took that too seriously and stopped crying completely. I am surely not acting preacher here, coz I am very much in that 'MOST OF US' gang.

Another angle to this thought is a very subjective aspect; some or most of us have gotten more tolerant to what happens to us and hence maybe dont CRY!!! Take a deeper view, can anyone define HOW TOLERANT IS TOLERANT? Who sets the metrics for tolerance and for whom? THE good manufacturing organisations continuously define and redefine tolerance limits, don't they? So the VERY humans who created these organisations also should? What say??
