Winning Health For All

Encultured vision sees things as they are and were, as they are not and were not. Positive revision sees things as we could become, together. Culture is an extremely large word, with ubiquitous cooperate v compete economic implications, assumptions, expectations, means toward autonomous v interdependent discovery, uncovery, recovery, spoken all the way from atomic through universal systems, root systems, language and numeric systems, as is climate, as is beauty, as is trust, as is health huge where wealth is not yet pathologically rabid, feeding off the poor in nature-spirit dipolar equivalence. Multicultures speak in diverse voices, internal and external, Left and Right, dark and light, and which we are able to see as us an which are "them" depends on not just who or what is speaking but who and when we listen to and look at out and in, sniff and lick and feel trusting drawn toward and those who do not feel right to us, not because they are not as good, or even better, but because we find resonant diversity across our cultures, within shared subclimates of mutual solidarity in healthy difference and not so much overly competitive pathology. Positive revision sees things like cultures and climates of beauty and trust as we could become, together.
