Learning to say "no"
Even Buddhists get into unpleasant situations again and again, who stands in real life, who has to make many decisions, sees people, experiences incidents, lives not always only pleasant.
Sometimes a decision has to be made, you can't always let everything go, going with the flow is not always an option.
It is particularly painful for many people to simply say "no", as this inevitably leads to disappointment among those who have counted on a "yes".
Can you lend me money? Can I stay up late? Will you buy me this? Do you want? Will you do it? Can you?
The answer cannot always be YES, the answer cannot always be positive. If you always buy your children sweets (because they whine), you participate in their later problems, you are the so-called co-dependent, you should simply say NO, but you cannot. Why is it like that?
Saying no can be learned, even if one is naturally afraid of the consequences. In any case, the followers of Buddha also have a bad conscience.
Who doesn't know it when the "yes" should actually be a "no", but the emotions get in the way of our true self?
But why don't we just say no, if we want to say no, how does the yes come over our lips? Yes, the feelings of guilt, and a No has anyhow consequences, from which we want to shirk, in the end it is laziness, or cowardice, but in no way a glory.
Then weigh up what a yes or a no would "cost" you.
Say "no" often, this is a good character training, not everything is gold that glitters.
Never say "yes" when you mean "no"! The way is the goal!
