Learning to refuse is the first ability that people should have when they grow up. Or, to put it another way: when you know how to refuse, you really grow up.
To give, is to help others. Rejection is to protect yourself. Before helping others, learn to protect yourself, I feel a little wrong. The exalted is: can stand at the height of moral work, but always not be kidnapped by morality.
A person, the proper exercise of the right to refuse, is a stand and attitude of the embodiment. In this secular society, Bcause, others may not take you seriously. It is precisely that the other person touches the nail in you, but will win the awe and respect.
There is no principle in the person who refuses. Like a man without a stick, it is hard to be principled. In life, learning to refuse is as important as knowing how to stick. Sometimes, rejection is the best way to stick.
I like to have a principled rejection of others, but also feel that others have a principled refusal to do nothing wrong. The principle, it means that each other has a bottom line. Principle there, contains the law, Ethics and morals, both rise above the mutual affection, and bound in the rationality, I think is the best distance between friends.
Man's loyalty, lost is the principle. There are many things that are difficult to do with the moral, and the impulse of do anything is bad.
If you are a principled person, you do not have to go to the person who does not obey the principle. Originally not a grasshopper, do not hard tied to a line. The pain of the will is that all your reluctance eventually becomes grievances. The point is, you suffer, he doesn't feel. Everything is taken for granted.
Will refuse, not equal to refuse. Righteous to protect yourself doesn't mean you can defend yourself with all your self-righteousness. When you are in danger, expect others not to reject you. The suffering of others, since also do not want to be in your place easily hit the wall.
Learn to refuse, but not to use it easily. At the level of conscience and morality, you are always a willing person. In this way, the most properly understood the refusal.
When I learned how to refuse, I really grew up.
