    I often said “can’t” in my childhood. And my parents would always reprimand me by saying “It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you won’t”. It grew on me, now I just say “I won’t” and I end up being the asshole in the room.

    Thank you for such strong and life-affirming poetry! I am also a poet and love to read philosophical poems! I always try to adhere to this rule and not say: I can’t! This denial is heard from me only by scammers and enemies. Nobody else. When a person refuses to help another, not necessarily in material terms, then he thereby undermines his authority and can be branded in the eyes of fools as mediocre and lazy, just like them. In my opinion, it’s better to be at ease and do what you think is necessary, and don’t give a damn about slander and gossip, because as they say: whoever speaks badly behind your back will remain there forever, behind you and below.

    "I can't " is what a trance , decieving nature that paints an unfortunate, unforgivable feature. It destroys men's ambition regardless of submission it twists and turns the truth so it is claimed and goes dark . " I can't " is not only a thought but a thought that leads to hopeless and actions of true courage led broken . Courage led by the thoughts of those with strong thoughts, fought on by win or loss . Even in the hands of I can't , yell yourself i.can

    Yesterday, I answered the demon by saying I CAN when I finally rode my motorcycle into the city for the first time. It was liberating! 🎉
    Fyi, I had a horrible motorcycle accident when I was a kid and it traumatized me.
    Of course I was sweating bullet, drank a lot of water due to nervousness, played many possibility scenes inside my head, and terrified before I encouraged myself to pushed that throttle and gliding through the city.
    Btw, my speed was only 10-15, sometimes 20, and I was riding only in the farther left side of the road (here right side is to pass another vehicles) until I reached my destination. Avoiding accident yo. 😅

    "Can't" is like so many other words being misused today.
    When most people say they can't they are actually saying they are to lazy or to weak willed to do something, can't just makes it a convenient lie to themselves to not have to bother or commit.
