Why Is It

Why is it those who reside in mental hospitals find themselves struggling to remember This is supposed to be a hospital, and not a prison for society’s revenge? Why is it those who find themselves imprisoned struggle to remind themselves and each other this is supposed to be a prison, and not an insanely vengeful mental hospital? Why is it bondage breeds violence as freedom feeds cooperative democracy, mutual empowerment? Why is it defending capital-hoarding elites breeds criminalization and militarization, while freeing human natures to embrace all Earth’s nature-spirits feeds ecological democracy to polypathically grow, contagiously expand in joy and wonder and mutual awe?
