A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members 1 in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked, “Why do people shout in anger at each other?”
His students 2 for a while, and one of them said, “Because when we lose our calm, we shout.”
“But, why should you shout when the other person is just 3 you? You can just as well te
ll him what you have to say in a soft manner.”
Students gave some other 4 but none were any good.
“When two people are angry at each
other, their hearts became distanced (疏远的),” the wi
se man explained. “To cover the distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the 5 they will have to shout to hear each other.”
“What 6 when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk 7 because their
hearts are very close.” The wise man said.
He looked at his students and said, “So when you argue, do not let your hearts 8 distant. Stop 9 words that distance you from others. Otherwise, there will come a day when the distance is 10 great that you will not find the way back.”
