Dare to have mercy.
Mercy endures in memory
with certainty.
Remember this you nations.
This will last for generations.
That which is legal about law is regal
from the eagle to the beetle, you people.
Mercy endures in memory at length.
It is the foundation for love with strength.
The ram is a lamb.
It will butt your bum with a bam
to get your hand.
Time will make another lamb.
Love secures endurance.
Endurance with education and allurance
yields wisdom and knowledge for insurance
with perspective on perception that yields assurance.
Let the vote denote the number
for policy that does not encumber
people as the hunter
for the state between slumber
and wonder.
Let the vote connote opposition to policies that harm the public.
Let freedom ring for people in kingdom or republic.
Allow defense when police protection is not at hand;
free trade so plutocracy does not rule the land;
construction for protection from the elements and man;
communications with people in foreign nations;
travel to experience different sensations
in various locations.
Beauty is in the strength of the song.
Success rings long with the bong
of the gong.
Smoke drifts slowly from the echo of dreams.
Things are not as certain as they seem.
The fragrant mist from the hyacinth
drifts in through the open window inch
to give a pinch of the aromatic labyrinth.
The odor of nard had filled the room
where the bottle broke before the tomb
and the maiden resumed work before the loom.
The earth's sweet being in the beginning in the garden of Eden
was not ended by sinning for eternal winning in freedom.
The penalty of death is not meant to kill
those with the right intent and execution of will.
Palms were laid upon the road
in a story that was told
to celebrate the moral code.
Cloaks were laid under his feet
to respect the royalty of his achievement.
Jesus carried the beam to Golgotha's peak.
Christ died from the pain the cross had wreaked.
The Word rose again as resurrected speech.
The legal code has since been asked
to consider the role that justice has tasked
to punishment as correction cast.
Jesus was not guilty of a plan
for rebellion. He murdered no man.
Cruelty or violence do not belong in the legal span.
Mary remembered her barren womb
as she stood by the open tomb
and felt the memory of the empty room.
What were you and I until we loved?
Were we not to become products of the love
from above?
All pleasures are fancied true.
Any earthly beauty that I saw to sooth
was desired and got as the dream of you.
The golden eagle watches noh theater.
The lover appeals to his love as a reasoner
in the palace yard as the fantasy sphere
below the cypress as the seat for the seer.
Spring flows in a streaming state
while young grass grows near the gate
where there had been snow of late.
The tea ceremony doesn't wait
for the cherry tree 桜 to blossom late.
The fate of a mate is made great
with the dish that is set upon a plate.
Like a drifting cloud
bound by nothing loud
I let go of feeling proud.
I allowed myself to wander around
to hear the whim of the wind wound
above ground with this wooshing sound.
Saki is sipped slowly by evening.
The light lets dark reveal her reason.
She sips her cup to test
her best
with zest
for the west
in the zodiac crest
in the quest for rest.
The east edge of the milky way
is the abode for his astral play.
There is no partiality with justice.
Each day has a candle lit for us.
The stone stands alone unaltered thus
as an altar for trust
that looks beyond the dust
and the rust.
I will draw the inference
that reason affirms with assurance.
I will live to declare the art of the seen
that the knowledge of science has drawn for me.
Open the gates of perspective on perception for consciousness.
I will see light with the sight that is given to perceive more of the less
evident with tests.
I will rejoice in the increase of fruit on trees by the lake.
I will sing for the quarter moon as a turn in orbit for heaven's sake.
The transcendence of excess individual or social limitation
is more beautiful than self-degradation.
Dare to have mercy.
Mercy endures in memory
for surety.
Mercy endures in memory at length.
It is the foundation for love with strength.

Simone de Beauvoir
b. 1.9.1908, Paris, France
d. 4.14.86, Paris, France
Paris
The Belle Époque was a period in the history of the city between the years 1871 to 1914. It lasted from the beginning of the Third French Republic until the First World War. It saw the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Métro, the completion of the Paris Opera and the beginning of the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre.
Three lavish "universal expositions" in 1878, 1889 and 1900 brought millions of visitors to Paris to sample the latest innovations in commerce, art and technology. Paris was the scene of the first public projection of a motion picture, and the birthplace of the Ballets Russes, Impressionism and Modern Art.
The expression Belle Époque ("beautiful era") came into use after the First World War. It was a nostalgic term for what seemed a simpler time of optimism, elegance and progress.
Marxism had a strong effect on French scientific philosophy. It was seen as the means to push the bureaucracy of government forward and backward into some small advance. It harbored anti-religious sentiment as a necessary proponent for change. Existentialism arose as a kind of mediation between the respective forms of socialism.
Existentialism doesn't promote achievement as a philosophy. It acquired a strong association with socialism because there was no celebration of civilized development.
Revolution was miscast as the only political development for social reform. Now that it has become institutionalized the threat of revolution is used to subvert political or social achievement.
Simone de Beauvoir was an anomaly to the socialist republic. She was one of the first women awarded a doctorate in philosophy.She had associations with existentialism, socialism and feminism, but her philosophy strove to identify these associations as affiliations that didn't endorse armed rebellion as the means to attain evolutionary change in legal reform.
Her overstatement for women was to become so pronounced that it resulted in some reform. Most of her work was for her personal benefit.
France was in a period where it was virtually inconceivable that an educated person could be anything other than a Marxist of some kind. Marx had moved to Paris in 1843.
The philosophical climate for mathematics and science in rational government was exploited by the anti-capitalist and anti-religious sentiments that were associated with his economic theory. It is not as though the difficulty was unique to France. The Second World War was fought over the different kinds of socialism.
Socialism is degenerate as an economic theory because it only represents industry in government.
The middle class is ruled out as having any significant designation as anything other than the 'problem.' Management and labor are engaged in a class struggle to dominate the political leadership.
Government is indicated as the default mechanism for the correction of the problem. Independent enterprise with capitalism is regarded as the cause of the middle class and economic inequality.
Simone de Beauvoir (Boo-vwa)
Simone de Beauvoir was born on 9 January 1908 into a bourgeois Parisian family in the 6th arrondissement. Sixieme also goes by the name of Luxembourg. It is on the left bank of the Seine River.
The left bank includes world-famous educational institutions such as the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the Académie française, the seat of the French Senate as well as a concentration of some of the most famous monuments in Paris such as Saint-Germain Abbey and square, St. Sulpice Church and square, the Pont des Arts and the Jardin du Luxembourg.
The 'left bank' is also synonymous with leftist culture. The bourgeois were the middle class. They adapted to the Marxist economic influence on French government by organizing within the social forms that featured what was best in culture. There was a conscious effort to offset the liberal competition for global commerce with conservative alliance.
Socialism didn't destroy development in Russia or China because of the long tradition of conservative policy in government. France allied with the large nations that favored the defense of national boundaries.
When the independence movement in African colonies took place in the 1960's, the French could pull out and retain alliance with the native government that took responsibility for governance.
Simone's parents were Georges Bertrand de Beauvoir, a legal secretary who once aspired to be an actor, and Françoise de Beauvoir (née Brasseur), a wealthy banker's daughter and devout Catholic. Simone's sister, Hélène, was born two years later.
The family struggled to maintain their bourgeois status after losing much of their fortune shortly after World War I. Françoise insisted that the two daughters be sent to a prestigious convent school.
Simone herself was deeply religious as a child. She intended to become a nun at one point. She lost her faith in her early teens and remained an atheist for the rest of her life.
This was a consequence of the adaptation to Marxist science. Socialist influence would not allow religion to participate in government. The dominant religion was associated with capitalism as the cause of the 'problem.' Economic success had to be 'managed' as a socialist product or it didn't receive recognition.
Simone studied mathematics at the Institut Catholique de Paris and literature/ languages at the Institut Sainte-Marie after passing baccalaureate exams in mathematics and philosophy in 1925.
She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne. She wrote her diplôme d'études supérieures after completing her degree in 1928. The diplome was roughly equivalent to a Master of Art thesis. Her topic was "Le concept chez Leibniz" ["The Concept in Leibniz"].
Beauvoir was only the ninth woman to have received a degree from the Sorbonne at the time. French women had only recently been allowed to join higher education. Women would not obtain the right to vote until 1944. Participation in the arts and literature allowed for a build in consensus that was acknowledged administratively in education.
She first worked with Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Claude Lévi-Strauss. All three completed their practice teaching requirements at the same secondary school. She sat in on courses at the École Normale Supérieure in preparation for the agrégation in philosophy even though she was not officially enrolled.
The agregation is a highly competitive postgraduate examination which serves as a national ranking for students. It was while studying for the agrégation that she met École Normale students Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Nizan and René Maheu.
She wrote about her youth in Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter. She said: "...my father's individualism and pagan ethical standards were in complete contrast to the rigidly moral conventionalism of my mother's teaching. This disequilibrium, which made my life a kind of endless disputation, is the main reason why I became an intellectual."
Her first novel was published in 1943. The title was She Came to Stay." It is a fictionalized chronicle of her relation with Sartre and their relationship with Olga and Wanda Kosakiewicz.
Olga was one of her students in the Rouen secondary school where Beauvoir taught during the early 1930s. Sartre tried to pursue Olga but she rejected him, so he began a relationship with her sister Wanda.
Sartre was still supporting Wanda upon his death. He also supported Olga for years, until she met and married Jacques-Laurent Bost, a lover of Beauvoir.
The novel is set just before the outbreak of World War II. Beauvoir creates one character from the complex relationships of Olga and Wanda. The fictionalized versions of Beauvoir and Sartre have a ménage à trois with the young woman. The novel also delves into the couple's complex relationship and how it was affected.
She Came to Stay was followed by other works. The Blood of Others explored the nature of individual responsibility. It told a love story between two young French students participating in the Resistance in World War II.
Pyrrhus and Cineas was her first philosophical essay into existential ethics. Cineas asked Pyrrhus, "Then what?" after hearing the plan to conquer his next empire. The question posed an infinite regress. When rest was offered as the answer to the goal for the final conquest, Cineas asked "Why not start now?".
Simone presented the existentialist dilemma to favor Pyrrhus. Imperial expansion was seen as a metaphor for commercial, social or personal organization.
The question posed by Cineas haunts the formation of projects. We have to account for the reason for working to achieve any goal. The attitude of Pyrrhus was considered more authentic in that it is an attitude that directs itself forward toward goals that are not absolute.
Camus presented a similar dilemma in the story of Sisyphus. He proposed that the human condition had to resign itself to finding happiness in the accomplishment of a tedious task like pushing a boulder to the top of a hill. There is a certain protection of the right to privacy in either view, but brutishness in bureaucracy was also defended.
Personal justification does not have to be disclosed to the public when a product or service is being offered. There are times when advertising is misdirected by the intention to challenge the customer to judge the product with his or her observation of value. Their is respect for personal judgment when the advertisement is not fraudulent.
The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947) confronted the existentialist dilemma of absolute freedom vs. the constraints of circumstance. The ambiguity is that each of us is both subject and object.
Being is free and factual. We have the ability to take note of ourselves and choose what to do as free. We are constrained by physical limits, social barriers and the expectations and political power of others as fact.
Each of us is free to transcend individual limitation, yet constrained by the limitation of the transcendence.
The Second Sex was published in two volumes in 1949. It was later condensed into one text divided into two "books" in English. Very little serious philosophy on women from a feminist perspective had been done at the time that it had been written.
The main thesis revolves around the idea that woman has been held in a relationship to man through her relegation to being man's "Other." Beauvoir found that the self needs otherness in order to define itself as a subject. The self is often just as much objectified by its other as the self objectifies it. Man takes on the role of self in society. He is the subject. She is the other.
Physiological occurrences in no way directly cause woman to be man's subordinate. Biology and history are not mere "facts" of an unbiased observer. They are always incorporated into and interpreted from a situation.
She acknowledged that psychoanalysis and historical materialism contributed insight into the sexual, familial and material life of woman, but failed to account for the whole picture.
Psychoanalysis denied the reality of choice. Historical materialism neglected to take into account the existential importance of the phenomena it reduced to material conditions.
She wrote "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman" at the start of the second book. She traced the education of woman from her childhood, through her adolescence and finally to her experiences of lesbianism and sexual initiation (if she has any).
She asserted that women are forced to relinquish their claims to transcendence and authentic subjectivity by a progressively more stringent acceptance of the "passive" and "alienated" role to man's "active" and "subjective" demands at each stage.
She presented the roles of wife, mother and prostitute to show how women, instead of transcending through work and creativity, were forced into monotonous existences of having children, tending house and being the sexual receptacles of the male libido.
She advocated such changes in social structures such as universal childcare, equal education, contraception and legal abortion for women. She proposed woman's economic freedom and independence from man.
This argument reads like Locke's position against absolute power for monarchy. It became an advocacy for his universal power for his parliamentarian authority. It worked out as something worse insofar as a number of different parliamentarians began to work to produce an inheritance for their legacy as something more important than that of the hereditary succession.
The Parliamentarian may work harder or not as hard as a monarch, but the authority works to take more from the people to establish a legacy by virtue of the legislative reform that was supposed to be enacted conservatively. Fake news became imperative in order to deceive the public into agreement to pay more in taxes.
The Mandarins won her France's highest literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, in 1954. It was translated into English in 1956 The book is set after the end of World War II and follows the personal lives of philosophers and friends among Sartre's and de Beauvoir's intimate circle. It included her relationship with American writer Nelson Algren to whom the book was dedicated.
The title refers to the scholar-bureaucrats of imperial China. The characters at times saw themselves as ineffectual "mandarins" as they attempted to discern what role, if any, intellectuals would have in influencing the political landscape of the world after World War II.
The themes of feminism, existentialism and personal morality are explored as the characters navigate not only the intellectual and political landscape but also their shifting relationships with each other. It defaults to the feminist form of socialism as a device for personal gain.
Beauvoir became active in France's women's liberation movement in the 1970's. Abortion was legalized in France in 1974. Socialism had imposed a bureaucratic stagnancy that another form had to correct for the legal reform.
Beauvoir died of pneumonia on 14 April 1986. She was 78 years old. She is buried next to Sartre at the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
