You know what everyone should? Everyone should stop telling other people about what they should or should not do.



"Should" is a curse word.

It curses an unaware person to feel shame or guilt if they choose not to do the prescription.


Including you?


Yup, it’s tongue-in-cheek. But I do genuinely believe that if every sentence framed as „everyone should do X” were rewritten as „if everyone did X, then the world would change in the way of Y”, it would make its argument more meaningful and less violent.
