The post-it reads “Sometimes the answer from the universe is no.”
I’ll just let that sink in.
What does sometimes the answer from the universe is no even mean? Can it apply to all things? Can it be applicable as an answer that I can give people who are asking the impossible of me?
I know that when I wrote the post-it it referred to the sometimes crushing inability of health care to solve all physical ills. That sometimes the damage is too great for even surgery to surmount. That sometimes medicine and medication and surgery won’t have the answer that people are asking. Or the answer that the universe gives back is a resounding no.
Heck, even money isn’t the answer in some cases. Well, in most cases. No matter the rich rich rich seeking to live forever.
Wow, this got dark fast. Well, I’m doing a PhD assignment. (shrugs)
But sometimes the answer from the universe is no and remains no. All the pleading, tears, and money in the world cannot make that answer a yes.
To get RREEEEAAALLYYY philosophical, maybe the no is the answer that you need to hear in that moment.
What about that?
