The Power of No

For some reason, I was reminded of the man in Tiananmen Square, stopping the tank so fed up with the world and it's inherient cruelty. Then I thought of Sir Thomas More and his refusal to support King Henry VII in his request for divorce. This refusal led to his demise. Lying to find evidence, for there was none.

It's the click, the no I won't do this or agree to this, that makes me curious. Toddlers learning words seem to have no problem in addressing thier desires. So what makes older generations submit but disagree?
