Why do people shout in anger ? - Story about Relationships - Source:Quora



This is an interesting story that I can across on Quora by Pritesh Kalantri. Thought of sharing it with a wider set of people. 

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 non-existent  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 ‘n 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.’
