How often do we shout without realizing its consequences?

We desire quiet children, yet we resort to yelling at them. We often assume that shouting is harmless, but is it truly?

In the Solomon Islands in the Pacific, some locals have a unique method for cutting down trees. When a tree is too large to fell, the islanders gather around it between 4 and 5 AM, cursing and shouting at it. This negative energy gradually undermines the tree's life force. Within 30 days, the roots die, and the tree collapses.

If shouting can kill a tree, what impact does it have on people? Does it extinguish respect, trust, listening, empathy, and love?

How is the "shout-o-meter" in your home? When and why do outbursts occur? Let's consider changing our approach.
