Why do people shout in anger

Once upon a time a saint who was visiting a pilgrim to take holy bath found a group of family members on the bank. They are shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples with a mysterious smile and asked. ‘Why do people shout in anger or shout at each other?’

Why do people shout in anger

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, Master because we lose our calm therefore we shout.
Saint again asked, “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.”

Other disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied all the disciples.
Ok Master, then you guides us. Request came from 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. Just because their hearts are very close to each other, 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 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.’
