Critical Nonviolence Theory

Compassion does not speak in judgment; at least not before sufficient listening on the emerging edge of gratitude. Therapeutic sciences now speak as one with inter-religious mystics, That kindness is physically and mentally therapeutic for those who receive and especially those who adeptly give, facilitate, mediate mentor, empower while cooperatively enlightening. While we readily see this bilateral correlation of kind-therapy and mean-pathology when counseling couples and quarreling kids and mediating sometimes ancient multigenerational family disputes, We less often consider historical and larger present day applications to things like slavery colonization criminalization patriarchalism parochialism evangelism apartheid white supremacy homophobia sexism racism Competitive capitalist drive to win/lose survive without cooperative communion to win/win thrive These utilitarian punishing elitist competitive issues are all antithetical to kindness of multiculturing communions, to the exercise of healthy democratic communication, to resiliently trust transgenerational wealthy communities Where compassion seldom speaks in win/lose evolving/devolving judgment, and not before sufficient win/win deep dynamic revolutionary listening For compassion's integral reasons before speaking impassioned feelings out of fore-giving healthy hearted season.
