Why Not?

This is a perennial question getting asked and most of the time I give in.

A person, who always feels difficult to say ‘NO’ to most of the things, when someone asked ‘why not?’, I get speechless.

I feel, that one can not tell everything to everyone. People like me, prefer being alone rather to party. We prefer a walk and not long drive.

We are happy sitting alone in the garden rather watching a match in the stadium.

Asking “why Not?”, and giving above answers to them, make us feel dumb and outdated.

Not everything can be revealed to everyone and there are very few people who can understand this and let us be what we are.

But the constant probing and pricking of ‘Why Not’ makes me irritable and I hate it the most.
