The pattern is how many times people say 'no'. And even a pattern in when people post 'no' in post, although it is understandable that it is not about the poster, but more a concept about saying 'no'.
There is a verse I think on. Not sure if it means the same to everyone, and I have said no myself in life, so not a judgement, but a thought.
2 Corinthians 1
18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." 20For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
It is not about politics, but the concept of positive. In the Duddy Kravits video, the lady does not say 'no' to Kravits, although she is not happy with his choice, in many ways you could say he was not thinking in the best ways. I think the 'no' is not necessary, and is also why sometimes people get many gifts outside of best actions.
To say 'yes' is in agreement, to say 'no' is a claim to authority without teaching. If you think in terms of saying 'no' to somebody, you have to also have some form of education in your thought. So that you do not tell them 'no', but that they learn and actually change the way they think and feel on something.
Someone asks can I have a widget. If you just say 'no', you are claiming to have authority to make that decision. If you instead explain why they don't need a widget, then you are educating, and not saying 'no'. If they do not agree after learning, then you still don't have to say 'no', just don't give in to their demand, not telling them what they have to think or feel, just that you do not agree with there concepts, and explain why.
Anyone that just says 'no', I do not give authority to decide in my view. If someone said they disagree while adding learning and education, then there could be discussion, but just saying 'no' is a claim of power over someone, and that power does not exist without some defensible argument as to why, or some showing of reason to some discussion.
And in spiritual matters, 'no' is not what I think of as coming from the best of thoughts.
There was a movie Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and there were many carry over concepts from that movie, so many of the metaphors are wrong in my view. Basically the concept of slaves being apes, or less evolved. However in that movie they spoke of 'no' they said people were conditioned by it, and actually most saying of 'no' has a power claim behind it and a tone that can have a conditioning effect, or an effect from conditioning caused by concepts of who has authority.
Just a thought concept on 'no'. Not about your post. And I agree people should not worry, but they should do what they can to make society better.
