Names

Names. What power is there in a name? wherein lies the strength of a title?

A chair is named a chair because it can and is usually used to be sit upon. A table is an object upon which we place our food for dinner. A car is identified by its model, which corresponds with a specific make and design.

All things have a name. All names have their origins. But are names really something man gives to everything around them to make referring to these things easier? Or do they really have a higher purpose?

A label for everything that exists. A name for every single body, ideal and concept in existence. Is it a name that makes you who you are; or is it you who makes a name a part of you?

"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot. Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part. Belonging to a man, O be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet. - Shakespear

Of what importance is a name to you? Had you a name other than yours, what would you be?

I am my name; My name is me. Call me by naught other than what I am. For doing otherwise would be an insult.

Call not a dog a cat and name not a woman a man. Identity lies within a name. Form is given upon the utterance of a word.

Form is the strength of a name. And form too is its limitation.
