Why We Shout In Anger
"Why We Shout In Anger"
A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group
offamily members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He
turned tohis disciples smiled 'n asked.
'Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our
calm, we shout.'
'But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you?
You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.' asked
the saint
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfiedthe other disciples.
Finally the saint explained,.
'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot.
To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear
each other to cover that great distance. What happens when two people
fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, Because
their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either
nonexistent or very small...'
The saint continued, 'Whenthey love each other even more, what
happens? Theydo not speak, only whisper'n they get even closer to each
other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only
look at each other 'n that's all. That is how close two people are
when they loveeach other.'
He looked at his disciples 'n said.
'So when you argue do notlet your hearts get distant, Do not say words
that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the
distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.'
