Contentious Kindness

Anger and kindness reach for richly polar opposition. So, can I have any more perfect anger than I have perfect kindness? Rumi claims that anger reposes during kindness, but sleep is not death, while kindness anxiously awaits during times of quick vexation, deeply entrenched resentment and hurt and fear of pathological repetition of loss and pain. Suffering wrestles between these two. Suffering with grows kindness, while suffering against grows angry. Most of life plays out somewhere between our competitive and cooperative intent and suffering mentoring co-redemptive intent, regenerative practices, comprehensive polycultural and multisystemic karmic grace of ecojustice, therapeutic co-arising diapraxis. No pain, no gain; No gain, restrain, retrain. We redeem as we harvest what we plant in fertile compost and toxic salt of dispossessive tears and laughter at those we've left behind and out; those and that nature we thought we could possess, own, enslave, use, abuse, victimize, ignore, neglect, commodify. Sowing life with Self, and Other, in and on Earth's cooperative kindness and challenging unkindness, or planting angry monocultural competitive weeds, and usually some of both, self-righteous flashy egojustice and ecotherapeutically peaceful mindfulness within Beloved Polycultural EarthTribe's formative normative co-intelligence, reasons for all four seasons. Kindness intends to suffer with, and not against, to reconnect our DNA memory-- we are a regeneratively co-evolving deep-ecorooting bicultural Tree of Life, growing both up and out Yang, and down and internally landscaping Yin-Yin ecologic as Win-Win ecojustice Cooperative Gaming Theory, rooting our reverse-hierarchical cooperative and information network all the way in and through our (0)-soul double-elliptical Universal Synergetics Prime ReGenesis Project System of fractal-holonic Design, Community and Communication Development, Economic Development as Eco-logical and Environ-mental Continuous Well-Being Improvement. Kindness suffers with eco-injustice anger; anger suffers against ecotherapeutic justice.
