what does "never again" mean for an event that didn't happen?

a) "never again" aka NOTHING (suggested fiction) EVERYTHING (perceivable reality) AGAIN (frequent repetition by choice)...hence suggested within perceivable again and again and again until others resist consenting.

b) "an event that didn't happen" represents your denial of their suggestion, hence your consent to not want suggested, while ignoring the need to adapt to perceivable.

never lie about that event again?

a) consider if you consent to believe in suggested "truth", which only then allows them to suggest "lies"?

b) EVENT', noun [Latin eventus, evenio; e and venio, to come.] - "that which comes"...while one reasons with others if the suggested event was or will be again, one ignores that which perceptibly is.

get one freebie event

Those who consent to a suggested event, do so by "free" will of choice, hence submitting to the chosen ones suggestion aka giving others a "freebie", while ignoring to "be free" (will of choice).
