Solid! I hadn't heard of horizontal justice before but it sounds much more sound to me. What is the point of punishment? Do we really want to let such ego-centric desires decide how we run society?

As for healers, I think there are many more healers than we realize but so many do not fit the qualifications of typical professions. I know homeless people who are healers but didn't fit the role of psychologist or formal teacher or "life coach". They do lots of healing from where they are though, but its hard when they are still healing from all kinds of trauma themselves.

I think empowered intentional communities that have a peaceful worldview and are accepting and encouraging of individuality are incredibly healing and helped me heal from a lot of trauma too.

Awesome post!!!!
