Family Values Party

Healthy families can be quick to anger but, if so, they have also learned to be quick to forgive, forgiveness redeems anger and fear to again risk mutual trust. Partisan political leaders are not leading when they, immersed in adversarial power positions, are slow to forgive. Well, OK, forgiveness, like mutual mentoring, and redemptive behavior, is not part of our political rhetoric, language, active monoculturing intent. While I am practicing what love preaches as civic and familial virtue, manifest partisan destiny does not. So, those who choose to grow in divisively stratifying marginalizing micro- and macro-aggressive partisanship monochromatic monopolistic praxis and intent, could healthier choose to lead in mutual forgiveness and consideration for honest differences, to engage in actively cooperative polyculturalism, following the nondualistic lead of Permaculture Design's ecological economics, spreading Golden Rule organic compost on every issue, species, paradigm, place, relationship, population and subculture, replacing mutual immunity with mutual gratitude for Positively intended win/win Deviance and Orthopraxis of physical/mental health systemic norms, virtues, values of body/mind integrity, synergy, balance, actively co-passionate relations. For two, or more, Parties to optimize effective communication, one must listen while the other talks then listens for co-empathic thought/feelings while the other talks, both sides actively searching for all the sides to convene in their ego/eco-centric location of being together now within mutual gratitude for becoming healthier together than falling apart; the power and potential of mutually mentoring integrity, and, oh yes, politically inclusive and effective leadership for compassionately co-invested cooperative webs of EarthSentient LoveLife. Let's have a Family-Friendly Party, equally adept with angry confrontation, integrity, flexibility and listening, and nobody is allowed to go to sleep even one night without knowing we all agree to forgive each other for being human natured. This is how we learn universal love from unitarian life for our ego selves and each ecosystemic organically intelligent universally thoughtful and unitarian feeling Other Sometimes little and sometimes big love child of empowering EarthMother and enlightening SunFather.
