WHY WE SHOUT IN ANGER?!

A spiritual story, a MUST READ!

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 and 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 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.'

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.
