We cannot truly hope to UNBURDEN ourselves of the Alieantive-Cots of: 1. Winning-Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deception. 2. Concentrations-of-Wealth-and-Powers. 3. Dominating Vulnerable-Inferior-People. 4. Systemic-Disruptive-Injustice. 5. Addictions. 6. Codependent-Supporters. 7. Wars. 8. Military-Industrial-Congressional-Corporate-Complexes. 9. Inhumane Technocracies and Technocrats. 10. Idolatry. - - - So long as we WORSHIP the ABOVE "Practical-Advantages" TO-US as GREEDY-PEOPLE - - - We cannot augment the essential sustainable sweet fruits noted on the RIGHT below - - - without Letting-Go of the Patterns-of-Alienation that come with enjoying the disintegrative fruits of behaviors noted on the LEFT below - - - because the-latter threaten the SUSTAINABILITY of each civilization where the behaviors endure-in-unmitigated-ways: Greedy-Hoarding-of-Possessions. Communal-Health-and-Integrities. Concentrations of Wealth-and-Powers. Personal-Health-and-Integrities. Arrogance-and-Self-Righteousness. Humility-and-Modesty. Endless-Exponential-Growth-Patterns. SUSTAINABILITY-Flexibility-and-Robustness. Winning Collusive-Games of Mutual-Self-Deception. Letting-Go of Addictions and of Concentrations-of-Powers-and-Wealth. Winning Military-Industrial-Congressional-Conflicts. Letting-Go of Violence-Coercion-and-Terrorism. Measuring Prosperity in terms of Consumption-Rates. Knowing What-is-Enough to-be Well-Integrated-and-Healthy TOGETHER. Maintaining Pretentious-Needs. Honesty about real, modest, true, basic, essential needs. Refusing to Listen-and-Sympathize. Being Sympathetic, Empathetic and Considerate. Honoring Negativity-and-Denigrations. Letting-GO of Negativity-and-Denigrations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THINK TOGETHER in SHALOM!
