Yelling and Whispering

One day a Master asked his students,
"Why do people yell when they are angry?"

His disciples thought for a moment and one answered,
"It is because we lose our calmness and patience, that is why we yell."

"But why YELL when the other person is at your side? He or she can clearly hear you, is it not possible to speak in soft tones?" So why do people yell when they are angry?"

His students all gave more answers but none satisfied to Master.

Finally, the Master replied,
"When two people are mad as each other, their heart distances a lot from each other. To cover that distance, they yell so that they can be heard. The more angry they get, the stronger they will need to yell for the other to hear through the great distance."

Then the Master asked,
"What happens when two people are in love? They do not yell but they talk softly to each other. Why? Because their hearts are close to each other. The distance between the two is very small."

The Master continued,
"When they fall in a deeper depth of love, then what happens? They do not talk, they whisper and become closer in their love for each other. In the end, they need not even whisper. They only see and look at each other and that is all. That is what happens to us when we are in love."

The Master finished with,
"When you argue, do not let your heart distance from one another. Do not say words that will make that happen. If you do, then one day that distance will be so long that you will not find the road to return..."

I ask all my readers,
How close is your heart to your loved ones?
How close are you to the ones who form your life?
