The quietest people are the smartest people the ones who talk less have the most brainpower. They patiently wait for other people to say what they need to say. They choose to open their ears rather than their mouths. The people who are the most intelligent are actually the ones you'd least expect to be smart. It’s easy to assume that the most outspoken, opinionated person in the room is the most intelligent.
They're too busy listening to themselves to hear what anyone else has to say. They spend a lot of time chattering away without actually taking the time to think through what they’re saying. The problem is that they don’t really know what they’re talking about. They bring you in with their wild stories and their bold, enticing passion about the issues they're discussing. We didn't hear about it until the next morning, but we had felt in that terrible silence that something wasn't right.It’s easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of being around big talkers.
We opened the back door, and it was far too silent.Ībout twenty miles away, a tornado was ripping through homes and killing several people at that exact moment. It can make you believe that the line of storms has passed, when really, the worst is yet to come.Ī line of severe thunderstorms ran through my area one night, and right after a particularly loud one with a downpour, we were placed under a tornado warning. To people who have never experienced it before, it can be very deceptive. I am familiar with the physical feeling of the calm before a real storm. It's true that he is calm most of the time, but just knowing that he will explode like that would make me uneasy. I would hate to have to live with a person so angry.

Whenever she has something to tell him that she knows will evoke this response, she waits as long as she can, because she says that she enjoys the calm before the storm. He doesn't hit her, but he does throw things around the house, get really red in the face, and yell a lot. My sister's husband has a terrible temper, and she is often afraid to tell him any bad news. It's good that he has this outlet, because it keeps him from hurting himself on some harder object.
Once he's out there, he will start kicking any object that won't break his foot on the way to his punching bag, which he has hanging in his tool shed. He will become stone-faced and sit still for a minute, and then he will go outside, slamming the door behind him. In my house, we call his quiet periods of anger the calm before the storm. Like the eerie quietness before a thunderstorm, those two hours before we open fill me with dread and tension.Īpril 25, – Unlike your sister's husband, my husband holds his anger in for awhile, until he can get outside and kick things around. We have fights break out sometimes, and a few people have gotten injured in the past. People are so rude to each other, and they literally run each other over getting to the most popular toys. I've never seen anything like the crowds on Black Friday. We have to get to work at midnight, since we will open at 2 in the morning, and while we are getting things ready in the store, we are all aware that this time is the calm before the storm. I work in a toy store, and we always dread Black Friday.
