Matter of hearts, written by olagideon

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 a
while. 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.
