Banning “Ban” for Freedom

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

As a lover of Freedom and Liberty, if I was obliged to ban something, would be the act of banning things. The word “Ban” in this case.

The goal? Trying that further tries of banning thing could not take place anymore. And sure, even this seems contradictory, as it intrinsically contains a ban.
However, “for every change, an action must be taken, in order to make it happen”.

This reminds me to a similar activity I performed once. In a museum in Madrid, 4 years ago, there was an exposition by Yoko Ono (Yes, her). The main item was a tree in the middle of a patio coined as Wish Tree. Anyone that would like to, could grab a blank note in the tables around, write a wish and hang it from the tree.
Why this reminds me to this? Well, my wish was “I wish there was no need to have more wishes”. My goal was to make all wishes or needs in the world to be satisfied. To disappear. So there was no need to wish anything else. But again, I had to make a wish to make this happen.So wishing for no wishes has an intrinsic wish on it.
