Maturing Up Together

When you hear justice do you also listen for responsive mercy? Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge against uncivilized behavior swelling vibrant adrenaline baptizing your self-righteous bloodstream? If revenge is your best defense against chaotic complexities of anti-social behavior, If punitive humiliation is this justice you would mentor, live by, protect, then you will be an often disappointed, and disappointingly ineffective, parent, and would best stay far away from anything in law enforcement and civil defense, and gun permits. Advocates and defenders of justice for all are deep lovers of intentions and behaviors positive humored seeking their notnot negative unbalancing of empty cleansing rituals including Society's ecopolitical liturgies, obsessive-compulsive demoralizing ruminations, ruinations, ramblings and echoes of great and small climatic transitions quaking Earth's moral imagination steeped in Anthro cultures and histories, kind and not-unkind. Justice without mercy is like reactivating love without peace, like trying to actually mentor love without internal and interdependent contentment that we are in this life together, all both guilty and innocent of most everything one might imagine, until we fall apart to reweave yet another new day, with notnot strictured Elder shadows, mercifully thrown together as not-not fully grown regenerates.
