I consider the confidense to say, "No" is the proof of one's honesty. We have to accept it positively. Many people in society maybe bluffing themselves and others staying always in "yes" mode- like our some politicians- they know not "no" due to fear of becoming hostile. No one can please everyone. You need to allow your conscience to decide not the people and society. Thank you, George, my friend- a good soul, sharing your pragmatic thoughts.
