Bad Humors Create Victims

Good Humors Create Healers Humorless weaponed officials applying laws to challenged and challenging unarmed natures, is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake to advocate with and for patience, understanding through merciful listening, to apply active love's empathic trust, which no just law, or practice thereof, could prohibit. The truth of complex situations, so necessary to uncover for wise application of our ethical codes for ecopolitical behaviors, is best accessed by vulnerability of co-empathic trust, active listening, Basic Attendance, as is intelligent good humor. Loss of humor's mutual equanimity is an ominous spiritual and natural sign Yet another rabid rattlesnake with too little more moral intelligence. If you are feeling like delivering toxic venom, rather than inviting kindness in return, then probably best to stay home and curl up on a warm rock. Hard-hearted criminal intent to neglect and abuse others is not softened or redeemed by anything less or more than orthopraxis of loving kindness with a smile, as possible. Those who expect citizens to behave civilly, best mentor what they would optimally hope to see on our streets and roads and life's Business As Usual highways and byways. Front-line customer service to those suspected, or even known, to struggle with sociopathic tendencies, cannot be optimally effective by treating them to further misdemeanors of humorless cold-blooded sociopathic paranoid rabidity. Are you in our shared health business, or in our anger/fear pathology too-busyness, or both? If both, which vocation seems to bring you, and the rest of us, better ecopolitical outcomes? We could use more officials for public health and less officiousness mentoring public pathology.
