...  paradoxical in human beings I make here in the form of a short story: Does somebody sometimes recognize himself?  😉😜

 * "A man wants to hang a picture.  He has the nail, but not the hammer.  The neighbor has one.  So our man decides to go over and borrow.  But there comes a doubt: What, if the neighbor does not want to lend me the hammer?  Yesterday he just greeted me so fleetingly.  Maybe he was in a hurry.  Maybe he's only hurriedly pleading, and he's got something against me.  And what?  I did not harm him;  he imagines something.  If someone wanted to borrow a tool from me, I would give it to him immediately.  And why not?  How can you refuse such a simple favor to a fellow human being?  People like this guy are poisoning your life.  And then he thinks I'm dependent on him.  Just because he has a hammer.  Now it's really enough for me.  - And so he storms over, rings, the neighbor opens, but before he can say "Hello", our man yells at him: "Keep your hammer."

„Overthinking does kill your happiness.“

Der Beweis für das leicht paradoxe im Menschen bilde ich hier in Form einer Kurzgeschichte ab: Erkennt sich manchmal jemand? 😉😜

*«Ein Mann will ein Bild aufhängen. Den Nagel hat er, nicht aber den Hammer. Der Nachbar hat einen. Also beschließt unser Mann, hinüberzugehen und ihn auszuborgen. Doch da kommt ihm ein Zweifel: Was, wenn der Nachbar mir den Hammer nicht leihen will? Gestern schon grüßte er mich nur so flüchtig. Vielleicht war er in Eile. Vielleicht hat er die Eile nur vorgeschützt, und er hat was gegen mich. Und was? Ich habe ihm nichts getan; der bildet sich da etwas ein. Wenn jemand von mir ein Werkzeug borgen wollte, ich gäbe es ihm sofort. Und warum er nicht? Wie kann man einem Mitmenschen einen so einfachen Gefallen abschlagen? Leute wie dieser Kerl vergiften einem das Leben. Und dann bildet er sich noch ein, ich sei auf ihn angewiesen. Bloß weil er einen Hammer hat. Jetzt reicht´s mir wirklich. - Und so stürmt er hinüber, läutet, der Nachbar öffnet, doch bevor er "Guten Tag" sagen kann, schreit ihn unser Mann an: "Behalten Sie Ihren Hammer".»
