Merciful Unblind Justice

I suspect mercy may be more resiliently empowering for optimizing multicultural health and safety as compared to uniform law and ordered, cookie-cutter, justice unresponsive to ubiquitous mitigating circumstances of unique spaces and relentlessly changing times. Mercy recognizes society's environmental historical contributions to loss, to absence of equitable justice more aware of each individual perpetrator's responsibility to society, to family, to local community Society's justice, without nurturing restorative mercy, speaks decontextualized un-nuanced authority of capital-measured economic systems including reasonable and fair expectations of retributive law, imprisoning neglect and sometimes violently punishing order. I wonder if both justice and mercy improve therapeutic co-arising potency restoring merciful justice AND revising metaphysically just equitable reuniting mercy, co-redemptively resolving what Earth has positively conjoined in thoughtful truth and felt beauty Breathing, re-animating, enspiriting inspiring nature's in and out climates of seasonal development, undevelopment, redevelopment, anti-development, pro-development, fractal phases of leftbrain space mercifully greeting, halfway meeting, bilateral rightbrain TaoTime With merciful multicultural anticipation, so less competitive room for monoculturing white justice anxiety about sufficient health and tribal safety for all EarthTribe's resilient health.
