I feel the most difficult thing anyone ever has to do is to say NO...I sometimes find it so hard to say no that I end up saying yes and suffering, rather than saying no and hurting others...But I know someone who has mastered the art of saying no...and this person is not some very wise uncle or some know-it-all grandma/grandpa, but a three year old nephew of mine. He so diplomatically answers when asked for something he doesnt want to do, its just so adorable...
Mom: Hey what is it that u're eating
Kid: Ice cream
Mom (just to see his reaction): Can I have a bite?
Kid: Oh I would've given it to u, but it tastes so bad..I know you wouldn't like it one bit...In fact, this would even hurt ur stomach...so I guess I'll just finish it
In another instance, his grandpa who meditates every day asked the kid to join him
Grandpa: why dont you sit here and meditate with me?
Kid: Sure.
After a minute or two...
Kid: Grandpa, I'll just go have some water. Will come back after that.
And his grandpa wont see him for another hour or so :/ And this happens every single day!!
Well, I should probably take a lesson or two from him!!
