    Unfortunately a closed fist speaks louder than an open mouth when a person has no intention of listening…

        We know why wars happen in the modern age and it isn’t people punching each other, actually.

        That’s not entirely true, war is far more complex than that…

        My point is/was that sometimes a short sharp shock delivers one of two outcomes: it either clarifies someone’s mind or teaches them the important lesson that words have consequences.

        I can’t stress enough that it is a final resort though. All other avenues need to have been fully explored first.
