96. the ultimate no
..or the no that means yes..I experienced a revelation starting this morning, gradually crawling on me with an undeniable certainty. Wednesday i decided not to keep going to Bible studies because i feel those are not my beliefs. I just went there from fear of losing human contacts. I believe it is yesterday that images from my past started to creep into my mind. It is today that photos of my mother and father on their wedding day came back to me in my head. My mother with a sad smile and my father with a look of almost disgust on his face. That is it ! they passed it on to me ! They were doing something just because...because there was nothing better to do. They got married because. Just like i went to these Bible studies because. I know that these revelations came to me because i said no.
When we say no, we actually say yes to something better. These parents when they said yes they should have said no. But they said yes without love for what they were doing, so were condemned to a life of oppression and resignation as life went by, with a laughter here and a laughter there as life has it's moments of relents. Between moments, people have children who copy them and repeat their mistakes from fear of they dont even know what. These memories came back to me because i said a conscious no. No is the first word as far as i can think a child will say in any language. No means yes to the truth. The truth comes when i say no to nonsense. Nonsense is something we do just because. please share your certainties or uncertainties....

I've done a lot of things just because. Fortunately no attempts at life-long commitments. I can see how going to a bible study would feel dishonest. It may sound not so great but when I attended church about a year ago I did it for the experience and company (this was when I lived on a piece of land by myself). They also gave me a bible to read which was better than nothing to read.
This is a good way to look at things, though. I have said no to many opportunities, quit activities too many times to count, but I never run out of things to do. There is always something else, and if I stick with it there's a sense of fulfillment.
@JadeMaster2 - I think we are all profound after all. Are minis to win something ? Or are they just for fun.. ? ..thank you...
@ANVRSADDAY - I like how you accommodate yourself to your needs. . I also read the Bible.. it is a book of some intelligence for sure....
@loner_writer - I see the Bible as a very smart book. I even type it with a capital letter out of respect perhaps. My guess is that if we get rid of the unnecessary we will gain valuable time and insight. It has to be a cause and effect reaction...
@locomotiv - Just for fun, I hope you don't mind me posting one. If so, I am very sorry dear. I didn't mean to overstep.
i needed this tonight. i forget to say no.
I just cain't say no.
@JadeMaster2 - Really i always wonder what these minis are. I know they mean something nice, but i dont know what. You dont overstep at all..Thousands lols...Do they give points ?..I truly love them...i just wonder what they are....Next time i'll give you a Mini also...
@promisesunshine - Dont forget that no means yes and yes means no and you'll be fine....
@PrisonerxOfxLove - If you cain't says no it means you cains says yes.
@locomotiv - Really?!
@PrisonerxOfxLove - yes and no..perhaps and maybe..
@PPhilip - Please fatten me up with a mini chocolate treat
they are delicious with a cherry on top
how could i say no to such a delicious delight
as you say sometimes people can afford to say no
because it is easy
but i say yes to anything as delicious
as a vanilla Sunday on a Friday evening
@locomotiv - and i learned last night that lust means time. but only in german.
That's pretty heavy. The God Part of the Brain is my favorite book on religion.
@promisesunshine - I thought time was Zeit in german and lust was joy..I'm missing something.. that is interesting..Please feel free to explain..
@dingus6 - To be called 'heavy' is a real booster for me. I'm often under the impression i come across as a 5 year old child...i dont know exactly what you saw in my post but it makes it a memorable comment for me. To be called heavy could be a catalyst to pour more ideas so far kept dormant. Such is the power of encouragement.I like the God Part of the Brain for a book title...
@locomotiv - somebody told a story. i didn't check facts. because that is too much effort. i should have, seems like.
@promisesunshine - ok.
It's a very good book, entirely secular, doesn't proselytize.
@dingus6 - I perhaps will borrow it from the library one of these days. The God Part of the Brain sounds so good to me...
