the meaning(s) of Pat Paul

Pat
- is a gender neutral name
- refers to "pet"
  a) I cannot relate to the concept of humankind being the summit of creation. 
      to me humankind is just another species that forgot about its animal skills, 
      instincts, intuition, and  6th sense. still we (humans) are equipped with 
      these inherent gifts.
  b) without discussing the pros and cons, or different types of societies, 
       socialization is a fact and happens to all of us. but that does not mean we 
      are to be tamed. there is no need to do tricks in order to prove love. 

Paul
- is a male name
- defers from the Latin name Paulus - the small one (adv. paulus: small).     
  part of some higher truth, but still humble.  
- my great grandmother's last name was Pavlovics. to me Paul is also an 
  abbreviation of Pavlovics, since u and v are not too different.

PAT ABOUT PAT

" I am trans through and through. The moment I think I am one thing I am already something else entirely.
What can not be compared with the statement a person combined different aspects simultaneously.
There are certain tendencies and preferences though. "

" It's a tragedy I'm not able to put myself down like a copy of my book, but am constantly preoccupied with                            
myself in a transfixed way. In this respect we are all alike. "

" When I have to talk about myself I turn into a third-person narrator, for what I say is not necessarily my opinion,                          
when 'opinion' is defined as a relatively consistent attitude over a period of time. The concept of an 'I' demands                          
an ascription of attributes. If I considered myself free of opinions that would be an attribute itself. But I know                            
myself too little for all of this. "
