Maturing BiPartisan Passions

When you hear plans for reactive justice do you also listen for responsive mercy? Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge against uncivilized behavior swelling vibrant adrenaline thrilling your self-righteous bloodstream? If revenge is your best defense against chaotic complexities of bad mad behavior, If punitive humiliation is this justice by disgrace you deem responsible, comfortably live by, protect and defend, then you will be an often disappointed, and disappointingly ineffective, parent And would best and brightest stay far away from anything in law enforcement, militarized defense, courtroom dramas, and gun permits. Advocates and defenders of justice for all are deep lovers of intentions and behaviors good healthy humored seeking our not so bad, sad, and mad renovations of white-washed purging rituals including Society's eco-political purifying rituals, obsessive-compulsive demoralizing ruminations, ruinations, rambling echoes of great and small transitions quaking Earth's moral indignation steeped in Anthropocene rape cultures and pillage histories of patriarchal justice without matriarchal mercy, much less Eartheatrical peace. Justice without mercy is like believing in love without practicing peace Like trying to restore a moral climate for love without a maturing polycultural life engaged co-empathically together All guilty of anti-Earth transgressions against compassioned innocents of most every unmerciful violence one might imagine inside inhumane uncivilization Until we fall Anthropocene bad sad mad unglad apart To reweave yet another new inter-re-ligious brightest and best day Without such long LeftBrain EitherFor/OrAgainst pathologically punishing shadows, unmercifully thrown survival of the fiercest apart, not yet fully grown Anthropocene together Mature sacred and organic mind/bodies Anthro/Earth-Tribe polyculturally thriving merry mercy co-passion full Maturing polypathic peace EarthJustice regenerates.
