Question

“Why do we shout in anger?” a saint (圣人) asked his disciples (门徒). “Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?”

“But, why do you shout when the other person is    17    next to you?” asked the saint. “Isn’t it possible to speak to him or her with a soft    18   ? Why do you shout at a person when you’re angry?”

Disciples gave some other answers but none    19    the saint. Finally he explained, “When two people are angry at each other, their    20    distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the    21    they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.”

Then the saint asked, “What    22    when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close and the distance between them is very    23   .”

The saint continued, “When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak loudly, only whisper and they get    24    closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only    25    each other and that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.”

The saint said finally, “When you argue, do not let your hearts get    26   , and do not say words that distance each other more, or there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not   27    the path to return!”
