Regenerating 2020 Hope

I once heard, Hope is what can positively happen after listening to all the realistic facts and then continuing in good faith anyway. I also heard, Cynicism about others, like narcissism about oneself, is sadly generative, expansively powerful, contagious Just as hope about others and compassion with oneself are happily generative, exponentially win/win contagious. Both negative and positive attitudes are generative, but hope is cooperatively regenerative while external cynicism, like internal narcissism, like ecopolitical fascism, is degenerative, competitively contagious, inviting a long, slow, painful lose/lose death. Cynicism flirts with Lose/Lose outcomes projections often escalated by competing "If you think that's horrible enough, listen to this terrifying or merely titillating tale..." Despite our broken wounded depressing cynically competing natures and narcissistic nurtures of Business As Usual stories of competing capital-hoarding ego-centrism, Active 2020 hope looks for WinLeft/WinRight options, plans, eco-operatively reassociating mutual ego-healing across all multicultural and polypathic non-sectarian good-faith systems, cooperatively-owned nutritional networks. Cynicism projects Earth's LoseLose demise. Scepticism questions, doubts, humanity's WinLose economy could ever become a long-term healthy trajectory. Optimism actively hopes a short-term investment in egocentric deflation, dis-investment, detachment will lead to long-term Lose to Win healthier egocentric evolution some other climate darkening day. WinWin optimization cooperatively goodfaiths (gospels), mentor models short-term through long-term compassionate ecstasy restoring peace and holistic justice Green sanctuary 2020 left/right yang/yin universal/unitarian (not fragmentarian) revolutions, regeneration/degeneration options every bicameral day every binomial ego/eco-where with every one regathering bilateral interior-beliefs compassioning exterior-behavior. Regenerate hope is what happens after listening to all the RealTalk co-operating healthy passions any way any time any where everyday.
