Emotion and Mind
گریه
/ gerye /
noun · crying
Meaning
معنی۱
Iranian culture treats crying as legitimate emotional release, not weakness. Men cry at funerals and during Muharram mourning rituals for Imam Hossein. Mothers cry openly when sons leave for the army or for study abroad. Suppressing گریه is seen as bottling up the heart, which Iranian wisdom holds is bad for health.
