while digging our way
through emotionally deserted

of bilateral co-passions

hate?
How is holistic compassion already more contagious than a-holistic self-hatred,

And
is it always true that nature abhors a vacuum
or
sometimes true nurture adores expansion?

but can positively appreciate...

Neurosystemic Passions For PeaceWe have come into this epic time
for survivors of dispassion
to age into sacred communion

Changing SystemsI'm reading this book called
"Systems Thinking for Social Change"

Although this is not his paradigm of systemic choice,
He talks about WinWin strategizing
for optimal outcomes
Rather than WinLose compromises
for suboptimal conservation
of the miserably under-performing status quo.

of codependent despair,
self-hatred.
Enslaving force perpetuates Ego's full-blown angry reduction
in self-identity,
deduction of...
