Health Optimizing Investments

If we were to follow a health model
for optimizing both economic and ecological wealth outcomes,
then investment in public and domestic educational systems
for active ecotherapeutic practice
and developing cooperative, self-regenerative systems,
would become our primary fiscal investment,

While military-surgical remediation
of past overly-competitive pathologies
would become a more secondary retaliatory Win-Lose
defensive strategy,
reserved for proportional disinvestment
in further nationalistic and/or tribal sickness.

So, we might have a slow-growing Educational Defense Department
with a big multicultural peace-mentoring curriculum
and proportionally appropriate investment priorities
for growing active peace domestically,
as globally.

And, a more slow-shrinking Military Police Surgical Department,
with a much smaller multicultural re-education agenda
for WinWin ecosystemic strategies
for evolving long-term cooperative remediation
to re-establish peace with justice
mercifully matriarchal/patriarchal domestic
as graciously extending our global family
through further revolutions of regenerative networks.

Two seminal Biblical teachings seem relevant
to this health and prosperity model.
Those who live by ballistic WinLose swords,
shall die by the sword,
alone.
Yet, those who live by active cooperative co-redemptive love,
shall die in love,
together as One Interdependent Body.

If our personal and political ecotherapeutic love-lives
are a two-edged sword,
all of regenerative history
and degenerating past cultures
conjoin to teach us cooperative health-mentored education
best remains our Yang front regenerate edge,
leaving competitive WinLose military divestment priorities
to a more secondary defensive strategy
for remedially,
surgically,
proportionally,
reverse-hierarchically protecting freedom and democracy and trust and love,
internal and external,
where cooperative economic and ecological climate balance,
domestic and political,
requires us all to sustain even further short-term loss
within Earth's cooperative health and prosperity,
eco-regenerative intention.

When peace education and public cooperative-ownership
and self/other governing mentorship,
cultural praxis,
multicultural creolization of nutritional voices and sources,
catchment and re-investment,
no longer lead our personal and public investment priorities,
then competitively dying by a WinLose sword
will lead our way to further climates of hubris,
ego/eco anticentric,
ethno-supremacist,
anthropocentric,
rather than caring for Earth,
regenerating cooperative relations with Others,
to care for our health wealthing educated,
and co-mentoring, Selves.
