Recovery is not what we need. It was sickness that got us where we are. We need an infusion of health which has more to do with a spiritual change than with a return to consumer sprawl car-centric life replete with drug wars and ground wars and the politics of nihilism. Health would be an honest recognition that we are folded over on our values, that is to say that beneath our current values lies helpfulness and democracy as universal rights and tolerance as strength not weakness. But keeping these universals down are the values of personal success, me first and freedom as the right to crush anyone who gets in the way. The universal values never go away and they fester when folded over upon. Health is letting the lesser values go, an act which anyone is free to perform in a nanosecond.
