“Why We Shout In Anger”

A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his 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 satisfied the 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,’When they love each other even more, what happens? They do 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 love each other.’

He looked at his disciples and said.

‘So when you argue do not let 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.’

I remember this story from somewhere and it really made a lot of sense to me. The way we deal with issues is realky telling. Its very true that when people argue they distant from each other making it hard for them understand one another. Its always good to talk to people in a soft manner whether your mad or not because one day when you need them they will be far gone for you to reach them and thats when regrets set in. Nice read.

Diplomacy is the best thing in many situations. But anger has to be used very sparingly and has to be applied the balm of love and compassion on a double dose. This will active in positive way. I remember the case of magnets which the principle says opposite poles attract but the poles of the same side repel. But in our human relationship case the negative part has to be only 10 percent and the positive part has to be 90 percent that will ensure relationships whichever they are will remain strong and improve over the years. Appreciate your reviews.
