Like Ahab, my arrival at ‘no’ resulted from a brutal blow by life. One for him, many for me, ending with a one-two shot that broke my spirit. But this ‘no’ is as much an intellectual event as emotional. Without contemplation, some simply stand back up and plod on unthinking.

Others, glassy-eyed yes-men, smile at their tormentor and nod approval. A more modern, a godless reaction, is to say ‘no!’. —Herman Melville
