Communicating Fire With Water
The question has always come up in one way or another, "Should one become highly emotional and raise their voice loudly in a fit of anger when talking to or admonishing someone?" It depends on the skill of the speaker, and the needs of the receiver.
A burst of anger can destructively affect the nervous system. The speaker must have the skill to maintain their balance or center internally, while they express another perception outwardly. In this way, the most important thing is their nervous system stays in tact. Disrupting the whole nervous system puts too much stress on the organ systems and glands. Therefore, it is unhealthy to truly lose control, or your center.
Lastly, it is unhealthy and a lack of self-control if the speaker is not in balance with the purpose of the message. Self - control also means the "self" controls the center, instead of someone else controlling your center. Masters often do this to make a point to a student who needs more force to make an impression like a tuning fork.
The master gets the students attention with the perceived "angry" attitude, while the master remains centered inside. Some people respond better to normal speech, while others may need a "jolt" sometimes to get the same result. It is not a form of disrespect, but rather a form of immediate attention. If it is overused, then the receiver will become immune to it.
A person speaks with perceived emotion, but stays cool inside. It is called, "Communicating Fire With Water." It is effective if the speaker is able to maintain inner balance through awareness. Moreover, the needs of the receiver will subtly and energetically demand fire or water to draw out certain truths, principles, or awareness.
Check out the example in this short clip from the movie, "Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring."
