I thought I'd take a moment to pop back into the Hubski thought-train.
I have thought over the past month or so about the post I last made in #thehumancondition concerning the "Yes World". _refugee_'s response, in particular, made me stop and rethink the premise of my previous post.
That post was a little rushed. I felt like I needed to say something after reading something so inspirational or thought-provoking. But come to think of it, maybe _refugee_ is right.
The Yes World is where most of us spend our waking hours, our alive moments. If we all live in this Yes World -- where there is a pressing obligation to agree to too many commitments...does that diminish the value of a 'yes'?
What then, determines that value? If you or I, as a magnanimous passenger on Spaceship Earth, say 'yes' x number of times, and we value a 'yes' at (Person's yes value)/x; and if that girl over there says 'yes' x+n number of times, are her 'yes's less valuable as that denominator gets larger? Can we quantify a 'yes'?
When will we accept the inherent counter-value of a 'no' -- something which will increase our proposed value of the word 'yes'?
