What Was That About

Truthfully, and kinda depressing, I can't "manage" anger any better than fear and contagious distrust and nearly constant anxiety and chronic depression. In nonviolent communication practice circles, peace networks, organic therapeutic systems, "curiosity" slowly grows ascendent as "patience" to resist negative feelings and "impatience" with shameless Others and not so blameless Selves fades off into a less used lexicon. Impatience about expressing anger, verbally and nonverbally, evokes LeftBrain dominant patriarchal capitalist corporate management models for hierarchically oppressive suppressive repressive not really impressive humorless control. Curiosity about deep therapeutic win/win potential for evolving healthcare competencies comes from a political economy of co-operative compassion NOT: intimidating and frightening scarcity of control sufficient to guarantee a never-ending expansion of ego-engorgement through solitary deductive reductive dualistic non-enlightenment segregating the StraightWhiteMale corporate well-capitalized WINners from us unstraight unwhite unmale frightening and yet uppity LOSErs Apparently LeftBrain incapable of managing our anger issues, sometimes frightened by vulnerability and emotional transparency yet quietly curious about compassion and neuro-sensory peak RightBrain prominent interdependent co-empathic co-invested peak spiritual experiences biological ecological theologically transcendent Exploding boundaries of autonomous ego-defensiveness and, possibly, even Either/Or, LeftBrain dominant Cause OR RightBrain felt Effect, StraightWhite monotheistic Capital-theistic compunctions, monoculturally supremacist, macroeconomic win/lose predative, pathologically angry and frightening terrorized global apartisan politics. Remarkably unfazed by climax-trending ecocide and degenerative patriarchal capitalist LeftBrain narcissistic snarky Us v Them genocide Unconscious about our lack of control to manage our viral global anger while spiritually and naturally, theologically and ecologically, dying from lack of win/win curious green cooperative thrival. Truthfully, and kinda depressing, we can't "manage" anger any better than climate fear and contagious EarthTribal distrust and nearly constant neuro-systemic anxiety and chronic LeftBrain dominant divisive depression.
