No Thanks

Daily writing prompt
Why don’t you want to answer this prompt?

I looked at this prompt a few times and debated if I was going to bother with it or not. I opted “not” to a degree. Not in its original form, at least.

I sat and thought about it a bit, and after some reflection, and looking back on historical events I remember, most of them were not fond memories.

I don’t feel the need to relive a lot of those memories, and quite honestly, I don’t know that anyone really cares to hear me ruminate on 9/11, the Iran Hostage Crisis, the year 2020, or anything else.

It doesn’t mean I don’t remember and respect those memories. It just means that I don’t feel the need to go down a road full of national and international tragedies for the amusement of the WP prompt creators, if they are even human.

I also don’t feel the need to leave the door open for debate on any of those historical subjects.

Shut that door, please.

Some of them tend to be hot button topics, and in the interest of peaceful coexistence, I prefer to leave them be.

People can debate until the cows come home if any specific event was real or fake, and accomplish absolutely nothing except getting pissed off. Personally, I prefer to use that energy elsewhere.

So, on that note, I have a space/time continuum to fix after yesterday’s mishap.

Anyone got a stapler?

I wish everyone a peaceful and excellent day. Ya’ll enjoy! I’ll be busy sleeping. Or trying to, more accurately. ๐Ÿ˜„

    Yes, but I used up all the staples shooting them across the room at various targets when I was extremely bored one day. ๐Ÿ˜

  3. I totally agree. With things I remember, it’s not a road I want to go down and revisit and re-trigger my own memories just for the WP prompt.

    Can I stick with personally historical things like the birth of my children, my first meaningful job, or the Beautiful Day that people stopped answering stupid prompts ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. I think that’s a mighty fine idea honestly. Far better use of the peomot than the original intent, in my estimation.

  6. I agree with you and your thoughts. Some things are difficult to revisit, and since everyone has their perspective, it can easily lead to debate.
    I completely understand your approach to leaving certain topics untouched.

    1. Sometimes they do come in handy, for sure, Mary. I just wish the variety were a bit wider. That would be a nice start.
      The ones I find off putting I skip or just flip them around.
