Pearl Buck There are several synonymous words co-arising feelings needs co-gravitating wants personal and social integrity political and economic synergy neurological and psychological ecological and theological That can guide life v death, health v pathology cooperative wealth v competitive disinvestment regeneration v degeneration love v despair impression v depression. These include words of passion-- Compassion co-passion passion story impassioned v dispassioned v mispassioned. E. O. Wilson speaks of biological Consilience where linguists and political historians recall co-gravitating Creolization, peaceful co-enculturation, rather than patriarchal greedy excesses of one-power sided colonization.
