I NEED a Freaking Hammer!!!

A Hammer?

So picture this. You need to fix things The toolbox is empty, and all you have is a hammer. And using a hammer to fix things never ends well. Just think about the Hulk. He always used to yell, “Hulk smash!” Did that ever end well? Well, maybe once in a while, but anyway… Common sense would tell you if something is made of glass, using a hammer is most definitely not going to fix things. Hopefully, you have common sense. But not everybody does.

Some people?

Not so smart.

Their thing is using the hammer and pretty much obliterating things with it.

They believe: If you have facts pound the facts. If you have nothing, you pound the table.

The problem is, most of them come to the table with nothing. Did you ever get into an argument with somebody that has no clue what the facts actually are? Gossip mongers? You know, the ones that love to hear themselves talking? They know everything, but they know absolutely nothing. You can’t tell them they’re wrong. They just aren’t having it. You can be holding the proof right in your hand and saying, “Here! Look! See?!” And they will still tell you with a straight face that you are dead wrong as they are pounding that table with everything they have. They can’t allow themselves to lose face. Meanwhile, they dig themselves deeper and deeper and deeper. At that point, they may as well take that hammer and start beating themselves over the head with it. Maybe it’ll knock some sense into them…

Guys, don’t try to outsmart your(or someone else’s) common sense, it never ends well. At the end of the day, your arms are way too short to box with God. Saying or yelling things until somebody actually believes it doesn’t work anymore. Don’t be a freaking moron if you are on the receiving end, either! Take that freaking hammer!

Don’t pound the table, pound the facts!
