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.
