Here it is again: "Becoming - Being".

"Kelly must decide": The verb expresses the desired becoming.
"A decision must be made": A being is made of a required becoming. This
will not work. This tacit knowledge is expressed emotionaly as "dislike for
the verb 'to be'".

Compared to Ed Brenegars contribution, I would include here the notion not
to forget the value of "being". I don't want to discuss the issue "two
times two is four" every morning.

Best regards,
Winfried
