Seductive Responsibilities

I am exhausted by bad government excuses to avoid responsibility and I am, today, sick with excuses to avoid my own responsibility, well within the bounds of my self-governing authority: "I'm just a mortal human. I make mistakes. I badly misjudge situations and relationships sometimes. I prejudicially underestimate potential risks to care to kindness to compassion to trust to joy. I irrationally compromise obviously healthy choices." I do. And so do you. At the same time, I applaud mutually transparent accountability to always do our best, to universally apply Golden Rules without boundaries, deeply and widely stretching out across sacred regenerations of living river time and organic EarthSpace, until no moment escapes WinWin compassionately pleasuring ego and eco-consciousness An internally felt and profound externally touching YES! to totally trusting accountability for my/our healing, restorative judgments, compassionate communication, my/our healthy robust relationships, both positive and not totally negative. Yes to sharing complicated win/lose responsibilities for my neurosystemic self care/uncare my ecosystemic EarthCare/uncare my anthropocentric lack of EarthCare/despair Responsible care-giving and -receiving co-passionately holds together the pleasures and displeasures of me/we bilateral days, me/we bifurcated generations, me/we bicamerally intelligent species Responsibly enjoining joy found rebound through AnthroMind/EarthBody choices for entertaining Me/We bipartisan pleasure and amusing Me-widening/We-deepening co-passions, Me/We positive realities and negative Me v We imaginations Me/We-therapeutic justice systems, including wide-MeMinded/deep-WeBodied Police Officers and win/win wealthy v win/lose hungry attorneys, counselors of peace and restorative, healing judges who proactively strategize like physicians, not reactive surgeons AnthroWin/EarthWin authorizing economically enlightened and politically empowering leaders and, of course, loving Me/We parents co-mentoring breathing in We as breathing out Me, wide-trusting inhale touching We deep-lusting exhale feeling golden pronoia nectar of Me/We cooperatively together, with both ears nondually co-arising Basic CoAttendance. Responsible, doing the best I can each widely seductive and deeply inclusive moment, mindful of win/win integrity's behavioral choices nourished by low-stress widely trusting and deeply beautiful environments Me/We wise glad kindness is also not yet bad meanness and bad is also not yet glad-humored neuro/eco-systemic responsible pleasure potential for AnthroMind/EarthBody integral-voice/engaged-choice pronoia. When law enforcement is more monoculturally important than polyculturing moral Me/We peace empowerment, When the criminalization of irrational win/lose misbehavior and lose/lose dispassionate terror is culturally acceptable, so is economic and political systemic trauma, repressive intimidation, Me v We entrapment in mutually paranoid chronic anxiety and Lose/Lose desperately irresponsible scenarios, retributively and irreligiously harmful correctional strategies guaranteed to bring the worst Mutually Authorized Destruction for everyone When MAD absolutely no one is more pronoia responsible than paranoid accountable. Criminal punishment, is no more politically, economically, ecologically healthy, universally resonant, synergetically resilient, than is WeWin/TheyLose racism. For many people of color, racism feels a whole lotta like privilege of abusive/neglectful criminalizing authority to perform win/lose judgment without engaging responsibility to win/win commit. Paranoia is this same presumption, writ large, across our entire BusinessAsUsual monocultural anthropocentric climate of Anthropocene pathology. Peace agency, the full bicameral ego/ecoconscious humanization of this joyless governing species, require us to accept what we might see and hear and responsibly feed ourselves, in positive healthy days and nights as positively incarnated eco-political Reality Shows where everybody actually wins what Me/We most need and want in the win/win beginning and end of each peak climaxing experience Where there are no irresponsible irreligious ungrateful losers needed to make a co-engaging story, A TedTalk And Walk for every neurosystem and ecosystem's WinWin future. Law enforcement with military weapons, severed from peace engagement with ecology tools, authors the nihilistic further win/lose capitalization and criminalization of an irreligious and irresponsible humanity. Autocracy does not nourish well-rounded healthy regenerations to build up who we therapeutically are and where we are headed together, without cynical negative Me v They Shows, and sociopathic social media messages of violence and mayhem begets more of same. We responsibly hope our political leaders and police officers and judicial systems are feeding more on positive integrity and not frothing at the mouth disintegration, actively dissonant mistrusts of anthro-privileged degenerative LoseMe v WinThey paranoia. We have a profound ecopolitical choice to make, to invest in responsible healthcare assumptions of Golden Rule good faith until reverse Authoritarian Rule bad faith proven otherwise We too often invest in negative social and eco-political poor health choices, shame and blame trauma events as entertainments and grist for darkly ruminating imaginations and then survival of the fittest paranoid realities, LoseLose pathologies, absence of faith in a more co-relational regenerative future. We can choose to authoritatively learn and responsibly earn a more ego/ecological Climate Health, or go this other way, armed humorless paranoids disguised in peace officer uniforms, really out to get themselves yet another victim of their anger and disappointment with humanity's lack of self-respect and responsibility, including their own sometimes when they really are not doing the best they can in a struggling situation. Or, are they? Those who feast on fear and anger entertainments, toxic environment unwoke choices, maybe shouldn't take the lead on determining what is family-values and pro-life news about challenging and suffering events and cultures and religions, and ecological political systems gasping for more positive good-news health and less sardonic nihilism, and rabidly traumatic paranoia. Responsibility meets our levels of accountability for trust and empathy and active listening and noticing possibilities to minimize victimization, criminalization, revenge, stealth and duplicity, anger and fear, mistrusts growing into raging distrustful paranoid hatreds of irreligiously chosen monotheistic people and families wounded by UnBeloved DisCommunities MeWe too often narrow "victim" labels to those who have experienced diatribes of prejudicial disrespect, not understanding victim-creators suffer too, for what they Me v We do and say and what they have MeWe failed to do and say. If you cannot find any compassion for your nemesis, your nay-sayers, your deniers, blind and deaf officious officers, your bullies and fascists and terrorists for their ridiculously irresponsible and irreligious Lose/Lose scenarios begging for a good Win/Win laugh, rather than satirical character assassinations, stepping away from healthy hopes and wealthy faith in co-responsive compassion, then you are still looking at how this that has happened to authoritative Me and not co-responsible We.
