Why do People Shout at Each Other

Why do people shout each other?  or Why do we wisher when we love each other? 

We shout each other because we lose the calmness in our mind. But, why do we shout when the other person is standing just next to us?   We can tell him off in a soft manner, can’t we?  The reason is when two people are angry at each other; there is lots of distance between their hearts.  To cover that distance, we generally shout each other to able to hear each other.  The angrier they are, the more they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance. 

What happens when two people fall in love?  They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close at that time.  The distance between their hearts is nonexistent or very small.  When they love each other, what happens?  They do not speak, but only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love.  Finally, they needn’t even whisper, they only look at each other and that’s all.  That is how close two people are when they love each other.  So, when you argue, do not let your hearts get distant; don’t use words that increase the distance between our hearts.
