Working through the 227 Rules For Monks.
Who knew the simple life could be so complex.
No
no thank you
I’m just not that hungry
I’ve learned to say no
to what I don’t want
it has nothing to do with you
it’s not something I would
ordinarily eat anyway
I’m watching my weight
my intake
so no thank you
I’m really not hungry
I had a snack earlier
yes it looks good
but no thank you
why can’t you take no for an answer
no I won’t want it later
I realize all the work you put into it
the time it took
that you planned this specially for me
I am pleased by the efforts you took
but that’s not enough
to make me want to eat
what I don’t want to eat
I know where that compliance leads to
so I’m saying no now
I won’t be pressured
no doesn’t mean open for negotiation
if I let you talk me into this
and you’ll think
you can talk me into anything
that you can coax me
into doing things I don’t want to do
even those harmless things
so this no is relevant
so no thank you
