If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

Negation in sentences would seem detrimental to our understanding.

When we use in a phrase “not”, we send a negative message and “is not” of utility  ” it’s useless” ( better)  to understand  the real message of a sentence.

In fact, “not”  emphasizes the last word in the phrase: for example < do not fall> < don’t go to war> the meaning is ” fall” ” war” because  the brain forgets the first words and memories the last. This theory is also used in graphics, in the writing, in stores.

Another curiosity: if we put “not” at the end of the phrase, let ‘s deny what we previously said. In Italian, sometimes, at the end of a phrase, one person talking to another says “no?= Do not you agree?” …better not to say it 🤫 ops…better avoid denial.🤗

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

<<A message in the bottle, cradled by the waves, I sent you in my previous life didn’t you see? No? You were distracted from your thoughts on what to do to fulfill yourself in life. It was enough to silence your mind, for a while, and your heart would have connected with mine… The beats in unison would show you what I’m seeing now and so, in my actual life, I wouldn’t fight the insecurities of a teenager again.

The message? It’s: ” follow your heart”.

You know, what it means. You have a lot of imagination, ability to achieve, but your insecurity confuses you. Stop to rationality. Don’t listen to others too, the life is yours, built it your way, and don’t stop!

Now, I’ll wait that, swimming in the sea of life, you’ll take that message, making your journey more peaceful.

< If our ages are dimensional lines that travel in parallel, in a single life, tomorrow, when I wake up, I’ll feel me…different, maybe or maybe not.

On the other hand, if I got that bottle, at my age, means it was for me, nothing to change.>

But you, Luisa, follow your heart anyway.😘>>
