Power of No

January 8th 2007 01:20

Sluggo

There’s a fantastic comic I came across on boingboing. It’s from the Comic ‘Nancy’ and features the character Sluggo just floating in midair, saying ‘no’ to the world.

The power of yes is a beautiful thing, but too much yes is destructive. Yes to fast food, yes to big houses, yes to longer hours, yes to more more more more more! But there comes a point where you have to stop and question. Is more better? Is this refusal to say no actually hurting my own happiness?
This concept has been at the forefront of the simple living movement, and has been embodied in events such as International Buy Nothing Day. The idea that no is a kind of yes. A yes to yourself. A yes to time with your family. In a way, a yes to saying no, is more of a yes to yes itself.

You disturb me sometimes, not because you're correct or because you're incorrect but because you seem to be looking for things wrong with the world and enjoy criticizing everything that happens. You have little to back up your claims and seem to distort facts in a way that if you put them plainly would better serve your purpose. If the world is as bad as you say: do something about it. If it is not: stop using propaganda to derail modern culture.

I fear you puzzle me a little... I simply see alot of things as looking incorrect, and I try to analyse them for my blog.

I'm puzzled because this is one of two posts - power of no and power of yes, where I wanted to look at the positive values of accepting and rejecting - This isn't a post I'd claim to be validly depressing. Have you read my 'Life is Beautiful post?' These aren't the posts of a guy trying to destroy the world. I'm just curious, and want to present ideas..

I am critical on my blog, but that's because I'm here to present a critical view of issues.

I do think the world has alot of problems, but mmost can be disconnected from you.

stop using propaganda to derail modern culture

Why?
