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.
