The Nasty 'S' Word...

... is the word SHOULD. Last semester I was informed that using the word should in my vocabulary really negatively influences the way I think and feel. It is a word that often times implies guilt. I really tried to eliminate 'it' from my lexicon.

Today I was reminded of the negative connotations associated with the word should. I was told that it is a word derived from the Anglo-Saxon word scold. I have not yet investigated the truth of the origin, but I was told, "If you use the word should while making decisions or in conversation, it's like scolding yourself or the person in which you are associating the word with."

Interesting. Interesting indeed.
