Legend has it that a Hindu saint who was visiting the Ganges River to take a bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples, smiled and asked: "Why do people in anger shout at each other?"
The disciples thought for a while before, one of them said: "Because we lose our calm, we shout."
"But, why should you shout when the other person is just opposite you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner," said the saint.
The disciple gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples. Finally the saint explained.
"When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger 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. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small..."
The saint continued, "When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other."
He looked at his disciples and said: "So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return."

This really enlightened me. Whenever I am excited, I get carried away easily and tend to speak with a loud voice. In order to change my habit, I will remember this story in my heart.
今日は面白い話を読んだ。話の鍵は「何で人は怒ったときに大声で叫ぶ傾向がある?」とある聖者が質問した。一人は「落ち着かないから、叫ぶの?」。聖者は「しかし、その人は体前のに、優しい声でいいじゃない?」と続いた。皆は回答できないまま、聖者は説明した。
「二人は怒ったとき、心の距離は長くなる。聞こえるために、叫ぶことしかない。もっと腹を立てた場合、もっと強い声でその長い距離を短くする。」
「二人は恋するとどうなる?叫ぶことではなく、優しい声で話す。なぜなら、心の距離が短い。」
その話はある人が書いた。よければ、そのサイト(http://mindbloggingstuff.blogspot.sg/) 見てください。目からうらこを落ちる感じをした。
私はいつも楽しいとき、調子に乗りすぎると、大声で話す傾向がある。習慣を直すために、その話を心に銘じるつもりだ。
Recent anime which I am watching is "Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil" and "Black Bullet". "Wizard Barristers" is about lawyers who defend wizards in a court case. Such lawyers are needed as wizards are often discriminated in the show. As for "Black Bullet", it is about humans become monsters when infected by a virus from the monsters. Children born from infected humans are discriminated even though they have the power to destroy the monsters. Poor thing, those children.
最近のアニメは「ウィザード.バリスタース~弁魔士セシル」と「ブラック.ブレット」。「ウィザード.バリスタース」は魔法使い人を弁護する弁護士の話。魔法使い人が差別を受けた場合はよくある。そして、「ブラック.ブレット」は怪物の病毒から人間が怪物になる。感染した親たちの生まれた子供は怪物を殺す力があるけど、その子供たちは差別を受けた場合もよくある。かわいそうね、子供たち。
