Polite Political Distance

I hope I would find a difference between cooperative masturbation and making passionate love if I could I wonder if I should recognize ego's fulfillment as more leftbrain secularized and the other as Old Green EcoSchool sacred and red-blooded. I hope a brief career as a prostitute was brief because I could not produce a sultry fascinated look for commercial leftbrain purposes. I would not because I could not and perhaps it is not a flaw in character that the issue of should not never co-arose. I also wonder about my brief career as a model. I could not produce the gift of an impassioned smile for commercial purposes, or at least not a smile photographers found resonant, nor sufficiently resilient for longer term consumption. Again, I would not because I could not force what my rightbrain felt should co-arisingly responsively flow from wealth of safe and co-relational health, secular and sacred. I had a not brief enough career as a commercial writer for human development, childhood and young adult and cooperative community development agencies for more warm than polite politically empowering agency. I could not fail to notice how commercial professional fundraisers, also known as competitive Executive Directors, could not resonantly replace original founders whose hearts co-empathically arose with compassion to serve and live in personal and familial, even tribal and global, solidarity with all poor in spirit disenfranchised from Earth's sacred nature. I retired when I could not fail to notice I was a white male privileged commercial writer for a straight white privileged corporate culture no longer even dreaming of non-commercial solidarity with those we were white privileged to serve with increasingly secularized mediocrity of indentured servants rather than rightbrain co-empathically committed to robustly co-relational co-passionate cooperative attachments Within EarthTribe's unprostituted organically whole yet spiritually open co-empowering relationships. I wonder if I would find a difference between codependent political masturbation, between Trumpian self-serving administration, and founding democratic Fathers making passionate non-commercial love multicultural compassion if I could and should.
