Sometimes its hard to contain ourselves but
do we ever ask ourselves -Why shout???
A psychology professor was teaching his
students. He asked his
students, "Why do we shout in anger? Why do
people shout at each
other when they are upset? The students
thought for a while. One of
them said, because we lose our calm, we
shout for that. "But why
shout when the other person is just next to
you?" asked the professor.
"Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a
soft voice? Why do
you shout at a person when you are angry?"
The students gave some
other answers but none satisfied the
professor. Finally he explained,
"When two people are angry at each other,
their hearts psychologically
distance themselves. To cover the distance,
they must shout to be able
to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will
shout to hear each other
through that great distance. Then the
professor asked, "What happens
when two people fall in love?
They don't
shout at each other but talk
softly, why? Because their hearts are
psychologically very close. The
distance between them is very small. The
professor continued,
"When
they love each other even more, what
happens? They do not speak, only
whisper and they even 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....
So next time you shout to a loved one, know
that you are creating
distance between your heart and that
person's heart.
Recall. This is very true. Let's start today and
practice not to
shout.
