Taking "No" For An Answer. I'm No Punk, But Sometimes It Is Right.

Sometimes it is right not to take "No" for an answer, when it is for the greater good.

Sometimes when you refuse to take "No" for an answer, and will not wait, you can be personally gratified, but the whole or community can be irrevocably fractured and harmed.

Look at American politics. Many think they are proving something; strength and an ability to lead, by bucking authority. That is no way to prove one's self, except to show a lack of good judgement even if you win. The things that have been going on is unwise, and globally embarrassing. Have the results been good for all? No. Look at the turmoil.

Perfect leadership and care means loving all AND yourself. It takes discipline to find the balance, and humility. That is why I balk at those that accuse me of pride. I am certainly not the one, and never have been in any pride; only confident and grateful.

To have the kind of personality and capacity to not take "No" for an answer is a good thing and the right way to be at times. But it should only be an option, and just another weapon in one's arsenal.

You must balance individual decisions and personal needs and desires with the needs and best decisions for the group. That is good and caring leadership. And sometimes yes, it means even taking "No" for an answer.

#InterDependence. It is necessary for civility. The wise get.

Peace and Love to all. And above all, treat everybody right.
