Pursuit of Healthy Democracy

Democratic pursuits of healthy constitutions and health policy discipline are often associated with growing compassion, global enlightenment values for well-being and happiness, And peace and happiness, in turn, associated with prosperity, both natural and spiritual wealth, never one without the other. This historical association includes integral Earth prosperity hoped for during the Great Enlightenment climaxing during the 1700s as our democratic spirited and natured USA was busy being born. Health, like wealth, can be measured in quantities compared across time, sometimes trending bigger and more robust and sometimes sadly smaller and more stagnant, But, health, as wealth, also feels warm flowing in effluent rivers and root nutritional systemic qualities of multilateral WinWin positive compassion, tossed back and forth in everyday discourse, sometimes degenerating into LoseLose negative ego-mania echoing cognitive silos of depressing dissonance. Personal health, like wealth, prosperity of happiness and warm nests, can be thought about as short-term sufficiency for each moment composing just one everyday lifetime, Or more long-term confluence, multi-regenerational, mother's warm womb to daughter re-membering grandmother's womb, back and forth through time remembered and projected healthy wealth into our co-passioned nutritional future. Global democratic health, like self-governing compassionate wealth, can be measured in cooperative quantities of lifespans and consumer market potential compared to productive efficiency adding cost of labor and materials and energy consumed/produced, and subtracting pollution and waste, multiplied by Win/Lose inefficient competitions and Lose/Lose energy resources of ecological/economic global failure, and more waste of life's integrity potential, Healthy wealth can also co-arise compared to Win/Win co-investing compassion trends. Earth's health, like wealth, can become more synergetically understood as qualities of multicultural integrity, flow, growing robustly effluent, affluent nutritional depth, width, buoyancy, multicultural beauty speaking polypathic truth to monocultural predation, degradation from Paradise potential degenerating to WeedPatch mendacity, hypocrisy, lunacy, rabidity of narcissistic fear-mongering cynical twittering while treating Earth as though a personal AntiGolden Ruled Toilet, garbage disposal A rabid rat's nest rewriting Golden HealthRule democratic constitutions to best serve northern and western white patriarchal monoculturing degenerators of military industrialized hate and threat commodity climates growing personally and politically and economically and socially unhealthy and psychologically unwealthy and way anti-democratic unwise, Anti-healthy wealth of white male privilege dispassionately apathetic toward long-term healthy quantities and wealthy matriarchal flowing qualities growing compassionately great and affluently climaxing enlightenment.
