Happiness

幸せ

Shiawase

from Ps.1

The right to vote makes a republic democratic.

The power to declare war has been used to undermine
rights since the inception of the conception.

Plutocracy undermines democracy
more than any other power.

When war is declared or enacted in fact,
rights are diminished beyond recognition.

When the death penalty is used
to institute genocide,
justice is pushed out
of the legal system.

Racism is bad; sexism as well.
Sectarian religion promotes strife,
but plutocracy is the worst.
It takes money from everybody
and gives it to those who need it least.

Morality has declared plutocracy illegal.
War has to be outlawed to preserve
the representation of rights.

The death penalty has to be abolished
to protect justice in the legal system.

Rights are the fruit of power.
Power is the product of labor.

We pay for government with our taxes.
We have the right to free trade
with prosperity. We have the right
to liberty in the law with justice.

Happy are those who do not choose
the will to power over others.

Happy are those who do not use
the threat of death or damage
to make a profit.

We delight in moral law.
Scientific goodness as defined by needs
leads perception into objective perspective.

Personal perspective goes gonzo
when prejudice drives action
into discrimination, but happiness
rules when objectivity values virtue.

We are like trees planted by the water.
We bear fruit in due season. Our leaves
do not wither. We prosper
with achievement in performance.

Our legacy will not be blown away
like chaff in the wind. Judgment
will have mercy for the merciful.

Fortune will favor the mind
that prepares a place for love
in time.



Ps.1

1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of
the wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the seats of the scornful!

2 Their delight is in the law of the Lord, *
and they meditate on his law day and night.

3 They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *
everything they do shall prosper.

4 It is not so with the wicked; *
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when
judgment comes, *
nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, *
but the way of the wicked is doomed.

Courage
勇気
Yuki
from Ps.98

The sky was so high,
the air took my breath away.

Giant planets cruised along
the astral highway.

Crying for lying,
the milk moon shone gray
this May. The atmosphere betrayed
the time for a new song.

The old song had been going on
for so long it was killing the lawn.
No growth? No green to be seen
for the fawn.

The Nemean Lion is homicidal intent
for the hero who is bent on making rent.
The mission maker’s impenetrable hide
is not plebian for kingdom, republic
or any side.

It protects the ‘right’ to take money
for the security of advantage
for the wealthiest kind.

The fangs do not rise as missiles against lies.
The missiles fly against the right to life
in any size. Sigh.

Leo is sighing for all that is spent
to make it look like the war against peace
is meant to win strategic advantage
with courage for ascent.

Care for the poor
provides victory for more
than pandering for war.

Mercy evokes memory
with desire for emulation.
Cruelty imposes damage
on the sensation of elation
for justice. 

Violence shows others
how not to behave
for the nation.

Misperception requires
the correction of affection
for deception.

Faithfulness earns honor.
Honor with honesty
sanctifies reward.

A world betrayed
by deception for profit
from violence honors
truth for justice
by non-violence
more than the motive
for betrayal.

Let your labor sing.
It’s your music.
You choose it.
Don’t lose it.

Sing for freedom
with justice. There
is no greater love.
It is the foundation
for morality.

Ps. 98

1 Sing to the Lord a new song, *
for he has done marvelous things.
2 With his right hand and his holy arm *
has he won for himself the victory.

3 The Lord has made known his victory; *
his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations.

4 He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, *
and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.

5 Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; *
lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.

6 Sing to the Lord with the harp, *
with the harp and the voice of song.

7 With trumpets and the sound of the horn *
shout with joy before the King, the Lord.

8 Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *
the lands and those who dwell therein.

Celebrate

Rosario Dawson as Laura Vasquez in MIB2
Love
  from Ps.22

Joy is praise for life.

My praise is for joy
in the assembly of people.

 I will celebrate life in the presence
of those who assemble for love.

The poor will eat and be satisfied.
Those who share providence will share
the satisfaction. Those who seek love
will raise praise, “May your heart
dare to care for others.”

Gratification will be remembered
to the ends of the earth. The families
of the nations will feel warmth with gratitude.

Leadership is the heritage for responsibility.
Responsibility acts with transparency
in accord with accountability.

Those who have passed into the past
celebrate blessings from experience
for progress in leadership with joy.

Our ancestors lived for hope.
My soul lives for faith.
Our descendants will live for love.

Responsibility

fm. Ps.119

Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
The universe began to exist.
The universe has a cause.

The experience of existence forms an idea of being.
Being exists as more than the idea of it.
The experience of existence exists
as more than an idea.

Nothing greater than the greatest idea of being
can be conceived to be greater.
If majesty exists in the mind,
it also exists in reality. 
Nobility exists in reality
as well as the mind.

Greatness is not defined by causing destruction or damage by cruelty or violence. It is not defined by deception or the accumulation of capital irrespective of the law.  It is better to oppose war and the death penalty, than to believe in the 'right' to destroy people and property as though there were divine approval for it.

Opposition cannot be destroyed by killing people.
Opposition to killing is reinforced.
Is war to be preferred to peace?
Is any religion to be defined by
an 'anti-Islamic' policy? No.

How are statutes an expression of law?
General authority lies between specific
and absolute simplicity.

My understanding
will guide perception
to value objective perspective
in the midst of subjectivity.

How is law related to morality?
The goal of responsibility
prevents the perpetuation of harm.

My judgment will reject the condemnation
of people; accept the rejection of deception
for the destruction of rights; and keep
that responsibility which is mine.

Each person has liberty in responsibility.
All people have entitlement
to protection against exploitation.
Everyone is responsible
for respect.

How is morality defined by rights?
It is not defined by money. It is not limited to
the special interest of increasing advantage
for the rich in accumulating capital to increase
their assets. It is not subordinate to the authority
to declare war to protect invasion, occupation
and genocide as ‘defense.’

Rights are for people by design
and as the functional product
of taxation. Goodness
obtains objective standing
by the design of nature
in providence for basic needs.

Morality is for goodness
as an expression of balance
in rights for people.

Government may not dictate
law by war for the profit of few
or many.

How do rights direct executive authority?
Executive authority may not claim absolute power.
No one is above the law. Not even all are above it.
The law is for each and all.

Executive authority
can only override
that which is harmful
to public policy
for the rights
of people.


No one is above the law.
Not even all are above it.
The law is for each and all.

Nadie está por encima de la ley.
Ni siquiera todos están por encima de ella.
La ley es para todos y todas.

Personne ne est au-dessus de la loi.
Pas même tous sont au-dessus.
La loi est pour chacun et pour tous.

Никто не стоит выше закона.
Nikto ne stoit vyshe zakona .
Даже не все над ним.
Dazhe ne vse nad nim.
Закон для всех и каждого.
Zakon dlya vsekh i kazhdogo.

Niemand steht über dem Gesetz.
Nicht einmal alle sind darüber.
Das Gesetz ist für alle und jeden.
Κανείς δεν είναι υπεράνω του νόμου.
Kaneís den eínai yperáno̱ tou nómou.

Δεν είναι ακόμα όλα είναι πάνω από αυτό.
Den eínai akóma óla eínai páno̱ apó af̱tó.
Ο νόμος είναι για το καθένα και όλους.
O nómos eínai gia to kathéna kai ólous.

Nemo plus iuris.
Nec inde omnia quae supra rationem.
Lex enim omnia et singula.

没有人能凌驾于法律之上。
Méiyǒu rén néng língjià yú fǎlǜ zhī shàng.
甚至都是它上面。
Shènzhì dōu shì tā shàngmiàn.
法律是个别及全部。
Fǎlǜ shì gèbié jí quánbù.

誰もが法律の上ではありません。
Daremoga hōritsu no uede wa arimasen.
ないその上にあっても、すべてがあります。
Na iso no ue ni atte mo, subete ga arimasu.
法律は、それぞれ、すべてのためのものです。
Hōritsu wa, sorezore, subete no tame no monodesu.

누구도 법 위에 없습니다.
nugudo beob wie eobs-seubnida.
아니 그 이상도 모두 있습니다.
ani geu isang do modu issseubnida .
이 법은 각각 모두를위한 것입니다.
i beob-eun gaggag modu leul-wihan geos-ibnida.

Choose

Choose to make your choices.

You are your way.
Make the right choices.
Choices define character.
Character is your statement
about who you are.

Your Way


Need is my lead.
I will not bleed for greed.

I will lay back in a field of green;
to look to heaven to see what can be seen;
to chew on a long stem of grass;
to think about which path to pass;
to look upon that which is close at hand;
to oppose presupposing by plan.

I will not deny fear of evil or strife.
Fear gives light for sight in life.
You are with me by faith and heart.
Comfort slows my racing start.

Trust will be re-written.
Inequality will be de-commissioned.
The table will be for discussion and debate.
Reason will rule without hate.
My head has been anointed with oil and sweat.
My income has been overrun by debt.

Surely goodness and mercy sustain the wait.
My life will dwell in this house of heart by faith.

from Psalm 133

It is pleasant when people live
together with respect for life.
Il est agréable quand les gens vivent
ainsi que le respect pour la vie.

It is like the precious presence of agreement
in a community living in communion
with the essential essence of our existence.

It is pleasant when people live
together with respect for life.
Es agradable cuando la gente vive
junto con el respeto por la vida.

It is like the dew that falls
with the exaltation of exhalation
from the heights of the heavens
to the constructions of our creation.

It is pleasant when people live
together with respect for life.
这是令人愉快的,当人们的生活
Zhè shì lìng rén yúkuài de, dāng rénmen de shēnghuó
再加上对生命的尊重。
 zài jiā shàng duì shēngmìng de zūnzhòng.

Our designs reign even in the rain
when they stand in accord with
the intelligence of nature.

It is pleasant when people live
together with respect for life.
人が住んでいるとき、それは楽しいです
Hito ga sunde iru toki, sore wa tanoshīdesu
一緒に生活を尊重した。
 issho ni seikatsu o sonchō shita.

It is pleasant when people live
together with respect for life.
사람들이 살 때 즐거운
salamdeul-i sal ttae jeulgeoun

Psalm 133

A Song of Ascents.
1 How very good and pleasant it is
   when kindred live together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil on the head,
   running down upon the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
   running down over the collar of his robes.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
   which falls on the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord ordained his blessing,
   life for evermore.

Born Again

fm. Ps.118:14ff.

The smell of beauty
released memories of aroma.

The aroma expanded like a cloud
in a hooded shroud.

The cloud was allowed light for flight.
The flight was a beautiful sight.

Perception by sight increased
intoxication by the diploma
of the smell.

The intoxication swelled
like the sound from a bell.

Vibrations fell from the bell
and rose again; echoing the waves
of eternity in time.

Paratroopers felt the float of fall
at dawn to mow the lawn. Now
they’re gone.

I am barren
though many children are mine.
I live though I died to rise
above the lies
from spies.

The gates for consciousness
have been opened.

Awareness will find focus
with the opus of feeling
for thought and the onus
of thought for speech
for the beyond by believing
with experience, testing and reason
for beholding the unfolding
of the lotus for love
in the improvement
of society.

The aroma has been unleashed.  
Welcome the sober release
of intoxication.

Put history in line with time
for progress in cognitive evolution.
Industry will be led
to serve government
for the people.

War will be abhorred
until it is no more.

Death will just amend
agency for life. It is not a product
to be controlled by killers
or the makers of weapons.
It is simply the friend known
as a natural end.

Celebrate life with the strength
of song. Sing for liberty in the law
with justice for all.
Ps.118:14ff.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song, *
and he has become my salvation.

15 There is a sound of exultation and victory *
in the tents of the righteous:
16 "The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! *
the right hand of the Lord is exalted!
the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!"

17 I shall not die, but live, *
and declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord has punished me sorely, *
but he did not hand me over to death.
 
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; *
I will enter them;
I will offer thanks to the Lord.

20 "This is the gate of the Lord; *
he who is righteous may enter."

21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *
and have become my salvation.

22 The same stone which the builders rejected *
has become the chief cornerstone.

23 This is the Lord's doing, *
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 On this day the Lord has acted; *
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Hosannah, Lord, hosannah! *
Lord, send us now success.

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; *
we bless you from the house of the Lord.

27 God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; *
form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar.
28 "You are my God, and I will thank you; *
you are my God, and I will exalt you."

29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever.
