Hello friends, looking for self-help topics, I am very interested in the poem of No. This is a story that helps people say NO on time and opostunamente without any remorse, because in my opinion in this life we come to be happy and not to please anyone. That's why my advice says NO when necessary.
The NO poem (by Hugo Finkelstein)
Do not.
It is not no, and there is only one way to say it.
Do not.
No admiration, no questions, no ellipsis.
No, it is said in only one way.
It is short, fast, monotone, sober and terse.
Do not.
It is said only once, No.
With the same intonation, No.
Like a broken record, No.
A No that needs a long walk or a reflection in the garden is not No.
A No that needs explanations and justifications, is not No.
No, it has a brief second.
It is a No, for the other because it was already for oneself.
It's not No, here and far from here.
No, it does not leave me open doors or entrap hopes, nor can it stop being No, even if the other and the world are turned upside down.
No, it is the last act of dignity.
No, it is the end of a book, without more chapters or second parts.
No, it is not said by letter, nor is it said silently, or in a low voice, or shouting, not with the head down, nor looking away, nor with symbols returned; not with grief and even less with satisfaction.
It is not No, because no.
When the No is not, it will look into the eyes and the will not naturally drop from the lips.
The voice of the No, is not tremulous, or hesitant, or aggressive and leaves no doubt.
That No, it is not a denial of the past, it is a correction of the future.
And only who knows how to say Can not say Yes.
