This quote is so true. I love the use of metaphors within quotes, and this is an excellent one. In it, the rain is representative of what you can say to someone, and the thunder represents someone yelling. I think this quote is directed at those who believe that raising their voice will win them an argument... when in reality, it doesn't at all. You can easily out-yell someone and be saying the most retarded thing ever, and drown out the logical argument of the person who has kept their cool... but in the end, the person with the logic will undoubtedly win.
Volume is not everything, certainly... and in my opinion, those who yell during disputes are usually immature and childish. They obviously never learned to keep a cool head and to not always scream when they didn't get their way. Naturally, everyone has their bad days where they can reach their limit for other people's stupidity.... but I'm directing this post at anyone and everyone who believes yelling in an argument equals victory. If I had to take a stab at the psychology behind this... I'd say that this bad habit probably comes from one of two places: 1). Those who were never taught proper discipline, respect and logic when younger, and so lead all their battles with emotion and anger or 2). Those who were neglected and shut out when younger- perhaps constantly drowned out by another sibling, and therefore learned that the only way to get attention and a form of victory was through being noisy. How true this is, I don't know- but I do know that logic proves a hell of a lot more than needless, over-emotional and quite frankly annoying yelling. Now, as for the 'flower' in this quote... this is obviously the person who is being yelled at. When someone yells at me, it can draw many reactions depending on my mood at the time. Most often, I'll feel annoyed and tend to spew back (though I've been getting better about keeping calm) or I'll feel upset and shut down. However, if you use logic and try to change my mind, and say it CALMLY.. I'm more apt to listen, absorb what you say and perhaps even change my mind. Don't grow your flowers with thunder... it'll only kill them off or hold them back. ~Maddie
