Why do we Yell in Anger?




A sage asked his mandalies ,'Why people yell at eachother when they are upset?'


The men thought for a while,'Because we loose our calmness,' said one.'we yell for that.'
'But, why to yell when the other person is at your side?' asked thesage. ' Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Whydo you yell at a person when you're angry?'


The men gave some other answers but none satisfied the sage. Finallyhe explained,'When two people are angry at each other, their heartsdistance a lot. To cover that distance they must yell, to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have toyell to hear each other through that great distance.'


Then the sage asked,' What happens when two people fall in love? Theydo not yell at each other but talk softly, why?Their hearts are veryclose. The distance between them is very small.'


The sage continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each otherin their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look ateach other and that's all. That is how close two people are when theylove each other.'


Then the sage said, 'When you argue do not let your hearts get distant,do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day whenthe distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.'
