Why We Shout in Anger

A Hindu saint was visiting the river Ganga to take bath. There he found a group of Family on the banks shouting at each other in anger.

After seeing this Saint turned towards his disciples smiled and asked, “Tell me Why do people Shout at Each other?”

All the disciples thought for a while and then one of them said, “it’s because we lose our calm.”

“But, Why does a person shout at a person who is just next to him? That person can tell him whatever he has to say to the person he is angry with in a soft manner.” Said Saint.

Again the disciples gave many other answers but not any of these answers could satisfy the saint.

Then Saint explained, “When two people get angry at each other, their Hearts are at a lot of distance. To cover that distance they need to shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they have to shout at each other to cover that distance.”

Saint continued, “What happens when people fall in Love? They don’t shout at each other and talk softly, it's because their hearts are very close. The distance is like non-existence or very small.”

Finally Saint said, “When they love each other even more, what happens? They don’t even speak, just whisper and when they even love more they just look at each other and understand. This is how two people are close to each other when they love each other.”

Moral: When you Argue, don't let your Heart get Distant. Don’t say words that create even more distance or else one day there will be so much distance that you will not be able to find Path to Return to.

Mud: Tennessee Ghost Story

Tennessee ghost story of a killer who encounters a strange old man along a dark road after burying his victim. What does this old man know about his crime? Find out in this short story by Andy Hinton. Although the walk should have been easier without the load, the adrenaline and whisky that had fuelled Jason earlier in the night is exhausted, and what energy remains is being used to shiver himself warm. As a result, it takes him half an hour to get back to the car. But time is relative, for what is half an hour in a night that never ends. Jason leans the shovel against the trunk and reaches into his right pocket for the keys; finding none, he goes to his left pocket and digs deeper. Then he runs both hands through all his pockets and rechecks them again. “Damn it.” Jason kicks the car, but the sound is muffled by the storm. He is angry enough, cold and worn out enough, to break a window, but he knows he needs the keys to drive home if he is ever to be done with this dreadful...

Mama Coon Coon: A Louisiana Swamp Folktale

Now I’ll just bet that none of you have ever heard the story of Mama Coon Coon and the blue waters of the bayou, have you? Well, we know the story, and I think we need to tell it to you right now. Once upon a time, the waters of the bayou were black – as black as ink. Now, even though these waters were black, they were still filled with lots and lots of fishes, shrimp and crab. And all of the fishermen would wake up early in the morning, long before the sun had even come above the horizon, and they would cast their nets down into the deep, black water. And what a wonderful sight it was at the end of the day to watch those fishermen pulling in their nets overflowing with all kinds of fishes, shrimp and crab. Dulac Louisiana Bayou by Clem .

You see, that is the name the local village children gav...

Ibo Landing

Near the mouth of Dunbar Creek on Georgia’s St Simons Island, there’s a section of swampy marshland known as “Ibo Landing” where some fishermen refuse to cast their lines. In the daytime, it doesn’t look any different from the other vast marshes stretching across Georgia’s coastal islands. Elongated white herons call to one another over the endless plain of reeds and mosquito infested marsh grasses. Fiddler crabs scurry across the sands. Unseen creatures plop into the black waters. St Simons Island, Georgia near Ibo Landing But when night falls, it is said that one can hear a different sound entirely. Swamps are known to make strange sounds at night. But if you listen closely, you may hear what sounds like the faint rattling of chains drifting across the marsh, followed by an eerie chant: “The water brought us the water will take us away.” If you think your ears are deceiving you, think again. For the old timers in the area will tell you what you’re hearing is the brave warrior O...
