Shoulds are not enforceable
Yes there is, statistically someone somewhere has never hurt anyone, even their own mother while being born. We should all strive for that level of gentleness and nonconfrontation.

Whenever I see a politician say someone "should" do something, I know right then and there that they intend to do absolutely nothing about the issue.
Keep watching their posts for the "shoulds."
It's totally meaningless

Finally saw "Sinners." GotDAMN that was good. It's so beautiful to see a Black creative, in the fullness of his power, ignore all the "shoulds" and conventions and just COOK. That movie was so good it made me come home and write.

White people reflexively default to the shoulds/the law/the rules, because all of those were designed to work for them. On almost every issue that Black people raise as problematic, there is a contingent that insists "couldn't happen because" of the system designed to work for them.

My mom taught me that there are two kinds of people in this world. How can I people and They Shoulds. It seems like anyone criticizing the protests are they shoulds. If that’s you, either become a how can I or STFU because they shoulds don’t fix anything.
I'm not sure what the armchair critics think they're accomplishing, but sure, if they want to lead some surprise mass protests against the administration, they should absolutely get out there and do that.
I completely agree it would probably be more effective, so have at it!

Many of us with chronic illness are well aware of the dangerous “shoulds”.
All the ways we subtly gaslight ourselves - our brains tricking us into thinking there were things we could have or should have done differently.
We need to throw away the “shoulds”.
We’re doing fine just as we are.

I push myself. I beat myself up. I tell myself that it’s “not that bad” & gaslight myself into thinking I can push through and write anyways.
I start with the dangerous “shoulds”.
You should have planned better. You should have rested more yesterday. You should be able to play through the pain /7
