……………………….
nevertheless, life for me (in the moment) is a play between …
o what we personally (& of course collectively) know to be SOCIO-ecologically right or wrong
o “natural” desires of the selfish flesh & mind, heart, and soul
o and social capital*** (in the broadest of sense) which we’ve acquired …
… all of influenced genetically, epigenetically, and environmentally/socio-ecologically …

***At the rate I spend the social capital afforded me by Mom, my formative village of Devine, Texas, and Land Grant Universities and various other lucky good-fortunes, … soon no one will be speaking ot me and no one will participate/attend my funeral.
