Is it a limitation
of the English language or of our own understanding that the active part of 'do as thou wilt' obscures the choice not to do?
Absence
is bounded space that can be filled as much by 'I may yet' or 'I will' as by 'I do' and takes no umbrage at 'I do not' or 'I will not' or 'I will never.'
The power of negation
can reverse reversal and so restore to a natural shape that which has been perverted, corrupted, or misaligned by devious agents.
'No' is an elixir of liberation.
'No' is a root in rotten soil.
'No' is a grain of sand in the track of the machine.
'Do as thou wilt'
and so, choose.
