THROW AWAY THE HAMMER
Why has human nature
always had a tendency to “kick",
to be forever dissatisfied with
conditions as they exist and yell !
ing for a change—any kind of a (
change, for better or for worse— 1
just as long as it is a change.
Ninety nine times out of a Inind* 1
red the ‘knocker’ has not the 1
faintest idea why he is knocking, f
nor has he any glimmer of an j 1
id* a as to what should replace j*
the present outrage, but he goes "
on ana knocks, knocks, knocks. 1
One should not confuse 1
honest criticism with knocking
for they are almost direct opposp
ites. The critic who knows his;’
subject paves the way for impr 1
oveuient, but the knocker lias no c
such ambitions. He merely growls |:
and as things improve he yells
the louder. He creates a spirit of i
antagonism which which hinders j
progress and tends to make the I ;i
community into a group of isolat I
ed individuals'.
Throw away that hammer; L
work up a smile, however painful [
it may feel; grab a horn an i go ,
out and try to spread a little opt [
iiuism. It won’t do any hai in and t
u may no a lot of good. Anj> way i
its worth tr.\ ‘life cnee.
