A Professor was teaching about Proverbs
15:1. 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 awhile. One said,
because we lose our calm. 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 answers but
none satisfied the Professor. Finally he
explained, 'when two people are angry at
each other, there is a distance in their hearts
psychologically. 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
close. The distance between them is very
close. The Professor continued, 'When they
love each other even more, what happens?
They don't speak, only whisper and they
even get 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 on a loved one, know that
you are creating distance between your
heart and that person’s heart. Proverbs 15:1
says a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a
harsh word stirs up anger.
Hope I made sense?
