When was the first and last time that you used or heard the word "should"? For the answer to the first part, it is likely to be after you learned to mumble "mama" or "dada" at infancy. For the second part to the question, perhaps it was five minutes ago. So often we are telling ourselves or others what should be done or should have been done, not realising that once we utter these words, we are instantaneously putting ourselves in a split position and at a level of resistance. "Should" implies that there is a "should not" and the duality of which makes us lose focus of what is truly happening in reality and in real-time. More so, it always drives us away from the present moment, gives us a flashback to what has happened and makes you think how you wish the scenario would be different if you were to choose again.
The truth is: all things happen for a reason, and all things can ONLY happen if the conditions are present in a phenomenological way. Any missing piece will not make the puzzle complete. So how could anything happen in a different way? On the other hand, if all the necessary conditions exist, the event will take place by itself and any outcome is a natural by-product.
Maybe this is another way to say that "Thinking less is More"?
