Subject: Why do people shout when they are upset? lovely reasoning by a saint

 

A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people

shout at each other when they are upset?'

 

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our

calm, we shout for that.'

 

'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked

the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?

Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'

 

Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.

 

Finally he 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 through that great distance.'

 

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They

don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts

are very close. The distance between them is very small...'

 

The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?  

They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in  their love.

Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.

That is how close two people are when they love each other.'

 

MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words

that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the

distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

 

Never fall in arguments with dear ones, it may happen....

that you may win the arguments and loose the person..............
