Working In Roleplay

I know this sounds like theater of the absurd, but I wonder if healthy role play might be left-brain's work ethic inviting right-brain's first and last impassioned word. We might pretend our LeftWing loves to play irresponsibly back and forth repositioning while RightWing is crazy busy with win/lose economics and disempowering politics of arduous fragmentation, Where God would paradise play with roles of humane-divine mutual infatuation, cooperative ego-deferment unto obsequious giggles of "Oh no, you first. I gracefully and divinely insist." AntiGod does hard vocational work to teach pagan pilgrim players and idle, irresponsible nature worshipers to get back to harvesting souls to be drained of daylight hours manufacturing need and greed to build our deadly war machines and our ever higher and mightier towers of anthro-hubris Babel. Babel sounds like a healthier place to play with natural sounds and spiritual languages for hide and seek with God as scriptured, sure, but also unscripted role play between too autonomous to be realistic Egos and too interdependent to be ungooey-theistic EcoLogicians. I hear lose/lose ecopolitics of hard work polarization sounds dramatically absurd while I continue to listen more imaginatively to ego-eco inside-outside co-passioning play Muse of RightWing stern capitalistic vocations underplaying Win/Win co-arising LeftWing wealthy health re-creations.
