Brian StaveleyHer anger, so useful just moments before, was getting the better of her now. She could hear it; she was too loud. Nira had counseled her again and again on the importance of holding her tongue and her peace. Ironic, given the source, but good advice all the same.
About This Quote
Sometimes, the people we love the most can be our worst enemy. Nira has always had a temper and she often let it get the best of her. She was all too happy to get into an argument with her husband and she would shout and scream at him until he did what she wanted. He did this for many years until one day, he was so fed up he decided to give up on her.
He left her alone in the house but never came back. She was devastated and could not understand why he was leaving her. She soon realized she had become so loud that no one could hear her anymore.
She became so angry that she had lost everyone’s attention and no longer had any friends, pets or family members who cared about her.
