Everyone needs to be explained things in their own way. Everyone understands in their own way.
"A reproof enters deeper into one of understanding than a hundred lashes into a [self-confident] fool." Proverbs 17:10, Amplified
What this verse is saying is that a foolish man will never change if the only tool at his disposal are words of correction. It will take only a physical beating for the foolish man to respond to change. We see this everyday. Look at the drug addict who hears the words of friends and family begging and pleading for him to stop. The fool will not change with mere words. The addict has to hit his rock bottom, loose everything, kill someone in order for the message to be received.
