       Is there a boundary between "It should be" and "I want it to be"?If so, what is that boundary?If not, why?A free discussion for all.#philosophy

       @eliptic The difference between "It should" and "I want" is, in the second case, the speaker is taking responsibility for the request. "It should" is the speaker's desire disguised as an imperative from a higher authority.They are distinct. I see no gradiation.

       @Ttown Yes, intuitively I would agree that "I want" is an expression of an 'internal' value and "it should" is more a reflecton of an 'external' one."Should" does seem to get used like a Trojan horse for "I want" a lot though!
