Why we shout in anger?
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 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.”
Life
At the beginning, life is a blank page, on which, with the passing of time, even the least events are recorded. Everything is recorded and shapes, with the passing of years, the personality of the being. Until the end, it is possible to change; this opportunity is offered to man. He does not control his destiny, but he controls certain aspects of his life and controls his acts. One needs much clear-headedness and self-control in all circumstances to make the right choices, which help to go beyond the stage of incarnation and to act as well as possible for his own good and that of others.
