Why Do We Shout in Anger ????

I was touched by these words and my experience said it is true when you think cooooooly about it :

‘Why do we shout in anger?’

A Guru asked his followers, ‘Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?’

His followers thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.’

‘But, why do you shout when the other person is just next to you?’ asked the guru. ‘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?’

Followers gave some other answers but none satisfied the guru.

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 guru 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 guru 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.
