Yesterday, we touched on the fact
that you are not your name, that it is a "thing" separate from you, akin to a
tool, or a conveyance like a bicycle, that you are given and that you hold as a
possession. You are its first "Holder in Due Course" and nobody using your name
at any time after that can claim a greater claim to it.
But there are some
difficulties.....
For example, what if you have a
common name like, "John Robert Brown"? There can be real confusion about who is
who and even, as we shall see, what is what--- associated with a name.
Let's go back to the Bible where
most conundrums appear in literature. God gave Adam the job of naming things and
animals. That much is clear and clearly stated in the Book of Genesis, but,
although naming people is not forbidden, it is not mandated, either.
