I think he was on to something there. No, this is a conversation to my left, to my heart. And we don't have a recipe we can follow literally. Left conversations are about the complexity and interconnectedness of things, rather than the simplicity or reduction of them. What I've noticed is, that in our rush to the center, to the mainstream, in order to simplify and succeed in a winner take all society, we are losing our left and the center is shifting rightward.
Justice is pass , so is kindness, altruism, gentleness, love, compassion, community, caring.
LOVE is pass , unless it's to our family and friends, there's that tribalism thing again. There is very little to a left politic in this country, not only in national and local politics, but in our newspapers, in our art, in our television programs and entertainment, indeed in our daily conversations. This isn't healthy. It's not balanced. An airplane needs both a left and a right wing to fly.
