Should is the most important word to listen for in any conversation. Any sentence in which that word, SHOULD, is incorporated is a value judgement. It is a sign of the other person's opinion, his way of seeing the world, and his values. It does not necessarily reflect your own world, your own values, and your own reality. Here are examples:
All men should work 40 hours a week at slave wages.
Everybody should respect their parents wishes even if they risk breaking the law, jail time, and losing their children in doing so.
Women should not make more money, have better titles, or more education than their spouses.
and my absolute favorite should....
Everybody should realize that they are God's gift to the world and follow their dreams realizing that God planted them in their mind in order to make the world a better place.
