The reason I don’t like this is there could be something that will be good for you but you are afraid of it. You’re not gonna get a full body yes in that case

I feel like I'm struggling a bit to assimilate the thing. So basically if I'm not 100% in, is it a no? I sometimes find myself contradicted by one of those systems. Wouldn't I miss out on a lot of experiences by being that strict? It's true that perhaps I don't enjoy them fully but isn't it childish to say no? Am I disrespecting the will of the body or the world around me?
