These people have such a childish view of the world -- that the ideal life is one of unbridled hedonism and instant gratification. That true happiness is a consequence of having every whim and desire fully sated.

A wise aphorism I can’t forget is that the greatest affliction of all is never to have been afflicted. Wisdom is forged through tribulation.

Many are the stories of those who have triumphed in spite of horrible circumstances and suffering and we all find those stories uplifting. There’s a reason for that.

NO. N.O. means NO. exactly what Beau said. They want us to forget what they did and are doing. They want us to forget the fires, forget the tortures, forget everything, forget who we are, forget who they are.
