“Her loving kindness helped the child settle down.”—this brings out something that can be used in culture and governor/government (G/G) that we implement individually for ourselves and then for others. We are our own governors “G/” and together with others we may choose to create and operate as governors a unified governmental framework (G/G). I define “This Place” of me and my environment what I need to govern. This Place is a USA democratic constitutional republic (DCR) form of government (G) for me. In such a way that G/G DCR collective actions may be “loving kindness” that help settle down the out-of-bounds actions of others, then this is a proactive form of love that means “love them”. This extends this way of psychodynamics from core/personal G/ to G/G with family, friends, and all others (humans and non-humans) through any space small to planetary. Turning towards with good will in the G/G means operating and maintaining the "culture" that is defined in our government. The spirit (intent) of the rule of law not the letter.
