Why would one shout in anger?

Read this from The Star.... Enjoy =)   

Once a professor asked his students, "Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?"

The students said, "We shout because we lose our calm."

"But why shout when the other person is just next to you? Isn't it possible to speak to him /her with a soft voice?"

The students gave various answers, none of which satisfied the professor. Finally, he explained, " When 2 people are angry with each other, their hearts distance. To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance."

Then he asked, "What happned when 2 people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are close. The distance between them is very small. When they ove each other even more, what happened? They don't speak - They only whisper and get closer to each other in thier love. Finally, they don't even need to whisper, they only look at each other, that's all. That's how close 2 people are when they love each other."

So when you argue, don't let your heart get distant or say words that distance each other even more, or there may come a day when the distance is so great you will never find the path back to each other.
