I’m at a strange point in my life. I feel that my morals as a person and the way I want live my life does not align with my partner’s expectations. The hardest part is that my partner is truly a good person and I love her to death; but I have to sacrifice my very being as a person to continue to be with her. “Love is the death of duty” they say, and it’s been resonating even more so for me day after day. I’m not looking for solutions, just wanted ramble at the saloon bar.
reply
perhaps she could change, no? maybe she could see herself included in the picture of the life you want, especially if this picture is attractive, although it may be hard to imagine now
reply
Thank you for replying. She’s pretty set in her ways. It’s ok though, I think I’ve already came to terms with it. As long as I am to stack sats, there is still a part of me I can hold on to. Who knows maybe in the future she can see that I’m not completely out my mind haha

I do want to share with you that there is hope, because at one point this is exactly what my partner could have said about me, but then I changed along with him and it's the best adventure I've been on
reply
Thank you for the words of affirmation, I really do appreciate it. Glad your partner has you, I hope you two much happiness for the years to come.

Some people find spiritual comfort in Alan Watts. I turn out to be more a fan of Nietzsche...guess I'm just different.
Always more upright learneth it to speak, the ego; and the more it learneth, the more doth it find titles and honors for the body and the earth.
A new pride taught me mine ego, and that I teach unto men: no longer to thrust one's head into the sand of celestial things, but to carry it freely, a terrestrial head, which giveth meaning to the earth!
"Backworldsmen"
No longer can your Self do that which it desireth most - create beyond itself. That is what it desireth most; that is all its fervor.
But it is now too late to do so; so your Self wisheth to succumb, ye despisers of the body.
To succumb - so wisheth your Self; and therefore have ye become despisers of the body. For ye can no longer create beyond yourselves.
And therefore are ye now angry with life and with the earth. And unconscious envy is in the sidelong look of your contempt.
"The Despisers of the Body"

You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. Jeff Foster
I believe that we all had (or have) in our lives people with the messianic syndrome, who wanted (want) to save us, who put themselves above us, who have resolved all their problems, and whose ultimate mission in their life is to save us...
I think they should read this quote carefully!

Your Name

Your name is not yours; it is given to you, usually by your parents.
There is no law saying you must have a name, but it is useful to have one if you wish to interact and contract with others.
It is the name that is used within a contract to “represent” you on paper, and it is this vulnerability of requiring a name that is exploited by those who control the system.
For something to be given to you the giver must have full and complete title to it, this also includes your name.
Note: Although you have “ownership” and use of “your name”, it continues to exist even after you die and is then no longer in your control.
Once you are given something, including your name, you must be sure you have full and complete title to it. It is unlikely that any loving parents would give their new born child a name with strings attached, however they are tricked into doing just that.
The people behind the system knew they could never control your name, so instead devised a scheme of tricking you into accepting “their” name, under “their” full control.
With this deception you have been turned into a bonded slave.
Note: The Latin word Nomen or “no-men” is the root word which leads to the Germanic word, and then old English word “nama” or “noma” meaning “name”.
Nomen in Latin means name, race, family, nation, fame, a thing or person, and a debt.
reply
In my country, your name, as a tradition, been given by a religious saint. We have a traditional ceremony much like baptism in Christianity. We call it 'Namkaran' in Hindus.
Also, I see that most religion followed the same until recently. However in contemporary world, it's our parents who are giving names now.
reply
I chose my own name - it is (as far as I am aware) unique to me!
reply
Especially so in Iceland, I believe.
In Iceland, you cannot name your child whatever you want. You can only use a name that appears on an official list of approved Icelandic names. But it is possible to apply to a committee for permission to use a name which is not yet listed.
Who knows that our name actually enslaves us?!
reply
In Portugal, there's also a list of approved names. However, if you're not Portuguese and your child is born here, you can already give them any name you like.
reply
In my country, Spain, there is a long list of forbidden names, for example these names would be banned, Cain, Stalin, Lucifer, Judas, Hitler...
reply
You sure know the trivia that will catch my attention! Haha.
Would you happen to know the number of names on this list? N how do you feel that there are hundreds of thousands of your countrymen with the same name as you?
reply
The list has approximately 4,000 female names and 4,000 male names. You can check out the list here.
I don't mind sharing a name with thousands of others. It's important to note that in Portugal, people typically have four names (e.g., João Pedro Silva Teixeira). However, only two names are mandatory (e.g., João Teixeira). The mandatory list of names only applies to the first two. The last two can be whatever you like. Typically, following the example above, Silva is the mother's last name and Teixeira is the father's last name.

Sorry to get back to you late. Appreciate the insight! Some Japanese couples are like this too. They each contribute one kanji character to their child’s name.

Your name is not yours; it is given to you, usually by your parents.
That's true for most people, but there are some cases when you choose your name by yourself and go and change the name your parents gave you with the new name you chose.
