Why Do We Shout in Anger?

A Saint Asked His Disciples, 'Why Do We Shout in Anger ? Why Do People Shout At Each Other When They Are Upset ?'

Disciples Thought For A While,One Of Them Said,'Because We Lose Our Calm,

We Shout For That.''But, Why To Shout When The Other Person is Just Next To You ?' Asked The Saint. 'Isn't it Possible To Speak To Him Or Her With A Soft Voice ? Why Do You Shout At A Person When You're Angry ?' Disciples Gave Some Other Answers But None Satisfied The Saint. Finally He 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 Through That Great Distance. ' Then The Saint Asked, ' What Happens When Two People Fall in Love ? They Don't Shout At Each Other But Talk Softly, Why ?

Because Their Hearts Are Very Close.

The Distance Between Them is 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.'



MORAL : 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 When The Distance is So Great That You Will Not Find The Path To Return.

The Sinking Ship

There were three ships which were nearby when the Titanic sunk. One of them was known as the Sampson. It was 7 miles away from the Titanic and they saw the white flares signaling danger, but because the crew had been hunting seals illegally and didn't want to be caught, they turned and went the opposite direction away from the Titanic. This ship represents us and people like us if we are so busy looking inward at our own sin and lives that we can't recognize when someone else is in need. The next ship was the Californian. This ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic, but they were surrounded by ice fields and the captain looked out and saw the white flares, but because the conditions weren't favorable and it was dark, he decided to go back to bed and wait until morning. The crew tried to convince themselves that nothing was happening. This ship represents those of us who say I can't do anything now. The conditions aren't right for it and so we wait until cond...

Be Happy (A True Story)

Around twenty years ago, I was living in Seattle and going through hard times. I could not find satisfying work, and I found this especially difficult, as I had a lot of experience and a Masters degree. To my shame, I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with friends. I had lost my apartment. I had been through five interviews with a company and, one day between bus runs, they called to say I did not get the job. I went to the bus barn like a zombie of disappointment. Later that afternoon, while doing my rounds through a quiet suburban neighborhood, I had an inner wave - like a primal scream - arise from deep inside me, and I thought, "Why has my life become so hard? Give me a sign, I asked, a physical sign, not some inner voice type of thing." Immediately after this internal scream, I pulled the bus over to drop off a little girl. As she passed, she handed me an earring and said I should keep it in case somebody claimed it. The earring was stamped me...

Never Judge a Book by its Cover

As she stood in front of her primary 5 class on the very first day of school, she told the children an untruth. Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved them all the same. However, that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Koko Bassey. Mrs. Thompson had watched Koko the year before and noticed that he did not play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. In addition, Koko could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. At the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Koko's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Koko's primary 1 teacher wrote, "Koko is a bright...
