When you can determine the point of incongruity in an argument, it is analogous to finding a tiny pebble - which, if placed correctly, will enable one man to move a mountain - or one idea to change the world.

The following video is a very short piece called:

Building Stonehenge - This Man can Move Anything

Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity.

Please take 6 minutes and watch this fascinating video.

Building Stonehenge - This Man can Move Anything


Aside from the simple genius of this man's method, I believe there is an important message here for us all.

Knowing exactly where to place the pebble, or finding the point of incongruity in a thought, we can effect change with only the slightest use of force.

Just as Wally has demonstrated so vividly in physical terms - he could have brought in a huge piece of machinery to move such a block - OR - a pebble, placed at the right spot with just one man pushing a small load - the weight of the object or the severity of the problem is irrelevant - the most important elements being correct intellectual analysis and measurement, determining point of fulcrum and leverage, and correct use of minimum force to achieve the end result of a change.

History is replete with stories of people facing incredible odds, but succeeding in the end because of determination, belief in themselves and the righteousness of their cause - as well as the ability to place a small pebble of an idea correctly into the massive machinery of injustice.
