In Defense of Ugly Politics

I have nothing against the Cinderellas of successful society. Cinderella finds her opportunity for freedom for love, hopefully, goes for it, and it works out for her and all the Prince Charmings, wherever they are hiding from my life. Anyway, all good news as far as this story goes. But, the plight of Ugly StepSisters and Brothers deserves more compassionate empathy. True, they borrow too heavily from Evil StepMother's playbook, her monocultural empty-empire building manual "How to compete for passion and pleasure natural wealth without sufficient impassioned spiritual health" Still, StepMom didn't write this manual alone. This scripture is as old as lack of requited love our severed selves. And, what are the karmic outcomes for these Sisters, lacking grace to invite Cinderellas to share their space? A decade a year a month a day, an hour, a minute, a moment devoid of choosing integrity's warm possibility, humor facing absurd lust for monolithic power, blind hope to control healthy life at least spirited enough to dull awareness of inevitable natural dying alone, results in living too much lonely consuming absence of full loving life, producing integrity of compassioned pleasure Disassociated disrepair eats and addicts acids of empire-defensive despair until nutrients of isolation mature into toxic self-disserving Evil StepSpinsters and bully UnBrothers Monsters spinning tragic runaway addictions breeding chaotic anger, fear of our darkness, our mortal trauma terror, our lack and misery and loss, hating our own unredemptive suffering. Ugly StepSisters are stuck in silos of their own discontent echoing Evil StepMother's voice foolishly demanding patriarchal satisfaction with a closed RightHand dominant fist when grace is hers and his to choose by merely opening Her heart to radically compassionate co-empathic curiosity and win/win pleasures of unconditional warm hospitality for all our Cinderellas, Prince Charmings, more oppositionally defiant StepSisters and homophobic UnBrothers.
