Mixed Blessings

Those of us who have had guilty pleasures of owning valuable real property, like a car and rental property and office equipment Office buildings, solar inverters, and nuclear holocaust delivery systems but not privately owned MBA degrees or merely intellectual property or more intimately owned emotional properties, Those of us who know the mixed blessings of owning organic and technocratic fragments of climate pathologized, yet still breathing, planet Earth, especially if taxable property, have heard about depreciation of values over their natural/mechanical life/utility health/power time. We might recall depreciation of property value decelerates more gradually as time marches forward, barring any unfortunate head-on accidents, flying and melting and fragmenting damage, accelerating astronomical crises eliminating long-term realistic health-wealth values. Depreciated suddenly to total loss of asset value, now a global junk-dealer liability. Anyway, just as depreciation decelerates over time, appreciation accelerates empowering resilience with time's enduring health/wealth cooperative life-experience, Organic systems accelerate robust cooperative integrity over a deep learning nutritious multiculturing life-time of Win/Win climax learning deeply curving synergetic ego/eco-relationships, Growing in good-humored co-investment priorities for story telling and listening to resonant fulfillment co-opportunities Rather than continuing historic depreciated taking and Win/Lose epic slow-losing ego/economic depressions, Anti-systemic pathologies, realistic predictions of global chaos. Retributive injustice depreciations slowly fade toward entropic disorganization, just the suffering and loss opposite of exponentially appreciative Win/Win compassion Explicitly conscious of living interdependently between and within autonomously natural depreciative law and appreciative open-systemic/spiritual yang/yin multicultural left/right psychological self/other empowering appreciative spiraling deep listening and wide learning order re-mixing depreciating curses into old-aged exponentially appreciating blessings of co-opportune climaxing climates.
