Restoring Health

Yang+Yin optimal health economics fueling wealthy cooperative politics Leads to less survivalist Yang v Yin Also, Yang x Yin multiplies SunLight x EarthPower cooperative empowerment fuels enlightening reiterations, integrations, creolizations As Yang/Yin divides separates disintegrates otherwise win/win healthy systems. So, just a quick restorative justice question-- Let's imagine a homeless adolescent (Yang) and an angry and resentful parent (Yin) left behind at what used to pass as their peaceful white picket-fenced house home habitat. Do we assume the defiant rebellious often self-vindicating PTSD and ADHD, homeless adolescent is typically at fault? maybe? Or do we blame and shame the still housed adult working one or two or three jobs? Why not both and why not avoid condemning either Yang or Yin Perhaps complicated with trauma intergenerational histories as old as slavery and warrior rape and tribal sacrifices of adolescent trust and beauty and soul emptying absence of win/win integrity, secular intent, sacred hope.
