No, the magic word
The first magic word that I learnt in my life was the word No. It has been the solution for my dilemmas: I don’t want to do and I don’t want to go and I don’t like to do. These expressions seem like words that stubborn grumpy, and boring guys could say. However, when we use this simple word, No, we have to think: How many difficult situations have we escaped?
This simple and magic word can save us from dangers, temptations, and situations. This magic word appraises our character and tries to buy our souls and hearts. This simple word fits anywhere and situations, and it is not necessary to say it out loud. We can say it inside us like a being who guides us in safety, and lead us away from uncertainties. It alerts us when we are going through dark and unknown ways. It is able to clarify our doubts, and it works like a judgment when we question our procedures.
We can say that the word Yes is more adventurous and immature but the word No is adventurous as well. When we are going away to look for adventures and we need to make choices at crossroads, these words help us to analyse the pros and cons. The word No makes the difference because the word Yes is involved by innocence and inexperience.
The word No, by the way, is unlike the word Yes because it has the power for contesting situations. The word No is revolutionary and we use it to remove from our worlds the impure and treacherous beings. The word No works against dictators, and the ones who want to deceive us. The word No is like a treasure that we hide for a long time and when we explode, this word is stronger than a weapon.
The word No is the scream that comes from open chests and minds while the word Yes is a sensation of submission and false kindness. But, sometimes, we have to be fair, the word Yes can hide a fine irony. The word Yes seems like a cynical being or someone who agrees to everything. But, in fact, it hides a big No, like a tramp to provoke our antagonists.
Or when we are sure to say No, we are saying certainly: No is no.
We must try to say No when the majority of people say Yes. But, if we are in front of the unknown, the word No seems like the perfect answer to say. The word No helps us to take care of our steps and it occupies the space of our convictions waiting for the perfect word Yes to arrive. Meanwhile, we are standing there questioning ourselves, our magic word No will agree or disagree with the situations that we are experiencing, and waiting for our decisions. The special moment will happen when the word No will signalise to us that the way is free of obstacles and both, the word No and the word Yes will establish the limit of our adventure and our responsibility.
The word No has a diabolic token inside it. It has two arrows pointing up whatever its position is. At the same time, the word No seems to be two hands to keep us next to heaven like a prayer or a request. The word No performs when people threaten us and it seems to have hands prepared to fight and prevent us from people who want to invade our space, and we say out loud: You won’t pass!
