Opposites Attract

How might our feeling-language play its stretching role toward imagining ourselves and others differently than we believe we, and they, truly are? Can you find a difference between problems, as issues, and opportunities, as possible resolutions, in how they feel dark v. light, but this difference is not that of opposites within themselves, so much as dialectical cause-effect appositional feeling. Issues like gun control and climate change feel too dark and heavy and unpleasant even to those who also love guns and fresh air and clean water and nutritious soil and other healthy things-- well, not so sure about loving guns, but certainly loving sufficient power to control my future with you. Anyway, opportunities to control guns and re-air issues from a freshly potentiating perspective, and to water clean health, rather than develop dark issues and constituencies living as monoculturally over-consuming weedpatches, feel lighter, more enlightened, perhaps even a bit more, I don't know, maybe bicamerally rebalancing our WinWin Co-Implementation Game. How might our interior and exterior therapeutic voices learn to speak through cognitive-affective dark-languaged dissonance, for EcoPresent Consciousness of "light feels good"?
