Bad Humors Destroy Feelers

Good Humors Create Healers Electing and selecting humorless weaponed officials to legislate and administer laws empowering challenged and challenging unarmed natures, is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake to advocate with and for patience, understanding through calming and merciful listening to apply active love's curiously glad empathic trust, which no just law, or logical practice thereof, could prohibit. The truth of complex situations, so necessary to uncover for wise application of our ethical codes for economic and political behaviors, is best accessed by vulner-ability to co-empathic trust, active listening, Basic Win/Win Anticipation, as is intelligent paradoxical humor. Loss of humor's appositional equanimity is an ominous spiritual v natural sign Yet another rabidly riled-up, not yet cooled-down, rattlesnake with too much "healthiest defense is a massively wealthy offense" post-traumatic neurosystemic intelligence. If you are feeling like delivering toxic venom, rather than inviting kindness in return, then probably best and brightest to stay home and curl up on a warm rock. Hard-hearted victimization intent to neglect and abuse, marginalize and criminalize, others is not softened or redeemed by anything less or more than orthopraxis of loving kindness with a good-humored smile, as possible, without someone thinking you are up to something devious. Pronoia's comedy is most effective therapeutic drama when transparently co-responding to the co-empathic paradox of paranoia's tragically triggered trauma. Those who expect citizens to behave civilly, best mentor what they would optimally hope to see on our FlashMob singing streets and not MassMurder flinging roads and life's Competing Business As Usual highways and bad rumored conspiracy byways. Front-line customer service to those suspected, or even known, to struggle with bad-sad-mad humored tendencies, cannot be optimally effective by treating them to further misdemeanors of humorless unglad cold-blooded unsym-pathetic systemic winner v loser 0-sum paranoid rabidity. Are you in our shared health-humored busyness? or in our too much anger/fear pathological business, or, paradoxically, both? If both, which direction seems to bring you, and the rest of us, economically wealthier ecological, and healthier political, resilient relationship outcomes? I would love to anticipate more good humored officials (and clergy) for multiculturally transformative public health and become less anxious about officious nests of reformative rattlesnakes threatening venomous rabidity of bad-sad-mad humored pathology.
