'Yikes'! How untrue.
Should is not a following word, unless following your conscience is also a
bad thing.
Certainly we can and "should" weigh out the consequences of our actions. then
we can see what "should" happen if we take a foolish reactionary course. We
"chould" avoid actions that cause harm to ourselves and others. We "should"
think things though. We "should" take into account cause and effect qnd that
includes other people's reactions, advice and experience. No one person
makes me think, but many have taught me how.

 What do you think about this?
