The thoughtway less travelled

We never stopped to think on it this way.

Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'
'Because we lose our calm,?

'But, why shout when the other person is just next to you?' 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her in a soft voice?

The truth is 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 through that great distance.'

And '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 very small...'
'When they love each other even more, 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..'

When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

A refreshing revelation, inspiring us to mend our ways.No longer tslks of increasing blood pressure if one shouts or that anger burns us not the one on whom we direct it.
That seems selfish enough reason.

MARRY FOR MONEY

A Muslim groom was outraged to open an envelope at his wedding celebration to find that one of his friends had given him only one, lonely fifty Riyal bill .Incensed at this tightwad behavior the groom decided to confront his friend -or perhaps ex-friend from a moment ago- right then and there.

The argument ran thus:
Groom: "What’s the matter with you? I gave you two thousand for your wedding"
Stingy guest: "Yes, and I gave you two thousand at your first wedding. But this is your second wedding, and for your second wedding you get fifty Riyals"

It was about here when the two men went after each other with punches and slaps until the groom’s father took control of the situation and calmed the men down.

Well that goes to say a lot on a marriage ceremony repeated - with a new bride

GOAT HEARD

We mostly remember pet goats through the eyes of Heidi the orphan who went to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. But there is a lot of stuff we don't know about goats.

Abraham Lincoln had two pet goats named Nanny and Nanko.

Goats today are indeed getting all the attention they want.

A goat had policemen of a station in the horns of dilemma for more than five hours. He made himself heard outright when his master chose to be careless. The goat trotted bleating all around the market place clamoring for his master. The police brought to the police station and suffered his pleas. His master was found and the goat was restored to his master with a severe warning . I wonder why and how the policemen did not feast on the mutton instead. Humanity still lies concealed under stiff uniforms.


A man ordered two goats for a sacrifice. He had specified white ones but one of them happened to be black . The irritated man knew that if he did not mince words he would lose time and effort over the carelessness .Furiously he rectified the error in a novel manner. He painted his black goat white and offered it as sacrifice. After all appearances are deceptive.



After a distinguished career that included overseas service, royal welcomes, and parade leadership, this old goat is retiring from the military.

Soldiers with the 1st Battalion of the Royal Welsh Regiment lined up on Tuesday to offer a full military send-off to their aging regimental goat, William Windsor. The eight-and-a-half-year-old lance corporal will spend the rest of his days at Whipsnade Zoo.
Did the goat bleat to the soldiers' beat?


It's as common as sin, the use of goats for weed control. With their insatiable desire to nibble on anything, goats have gained credibility as land clearers among Seattle-area government agencies Skeptics, quickly become converts. Goats are cheaper than manual laborers, chemical-free and popular with parents and children. Even the critters' droppings are in demand.
They are just eating machines. They suck down blackberry vines like it was spaghetti. The thorns don't bother them at all. Goats were effective tool for clearing underbrush on fire-prone hillsides and to combat invasive species of plants. Goats are faster and cheaper than human crews or heavy equipment on steep slopes covered in blackberry vines, Goats can't compete with herbicides for speed but can work in wetlands and along stream banks with minimal threat to water quality or salmon habitat.

As for the goats, "As long as there is plenty to eat, they're happy."

The proper name for a group of goats is a trip.
Baby goats are kids.
Males are called buck or billy goat.
Female goats are called doe or nanny goat.
When goats are pregnant you say the goat is kidding.
Determining the age of a goat is called toothing a goat
All goats have beards and some have tassels under the chin

Interesting facts

  1. Rains of many kinds of living creatures have actually been reported from earliest times and all over the world. On 28th May 1881, during a thunderstorm on the outskirts of Worcester, England, tons of periwinkles and small hermit crabs fell on Cromer Gardens Road and the surrounding fields.
  2. The modern Christmas tree tradition came from Western Germany, from a medieval custom. It was called a paradise tree -- a tree decorated with apples, wafers (or cookies), and candles representing the Garden of Eden, the host, and Christ.
  3. A man named Sir Henry Wyat was sentenced to the Tower of London, at a time when prisoners generally starved to death. Sir Henry's kitty-cat seemed to understand the situation because she snuck into the Tower bringing him a freshly-killed pigeon every day. When the king heard of this, he must have felt sad for the kitty, because he immediately set Sir Henry free.
  4. One out of the ordinary punishment of the Elizabethan England was called the drunkard's cloak. It was a punishment for public drunkenness; the name though is misleading. The drunk was forced to wear a barrel and wander through the town while the villagers jeered at him. Holes were cut in the barrel for the person's hands and head, causing it to become like a heavy, awkward shirt.
  5. The alarm clock was not invented by the Marquis de Sade but by a man named Levi Hutchins of Concord, New Hampshire; in 1787.There was something strange about his invention from the beginning. The alarm on his clock could ring only at 4 am. There is a rumor that Hutchins was murdered by his wife at 4:05 am on a very dark and deeply cold New England morning.
