I DON'T NEED YOUR ROSES, I LIKE MEN ON THEIR KNEES
Humans, however, can't live very long without some sense of a continuing story. Such stories go beyond the limited rational system with which you surround yourself; they are crucial keys to sharing time-experience with others. Now a narrative is a story, not a logic, nor ethics, nor philosophy. It is a dream you keep having, whether you realize it or not. Just as surely as you breathe, you go on ceaselessly dreaming your story. And in these stories you wear two faces. You are simultaneously subject and object. You are a whole and you are a part. You are real and you are shadow. "Storyteller" and at the same time "character". It is through such multilayering of roles in our stories that we heal the loneliness of being an isolated individual in the world. Yet without a proper ego nobody can create a personal narrative, any more than you can drive a car without an engine, or cast a shadow without a real physical object. But once you've consigned your ego to someone else, where on earth do you go from there? At this point you receive a new narrative from the person to whom you have entrusted your ego. You've handed over the real thing, so what comes back is a shadow. And once your ego has merged with another ego, your narrative will necessarily take on the narrative created by that ego. (Haruki Murakami)

Kann Gott sein Versprechen halten ?
Wenn du im Kapitel 55 Vers 11 Genau das Gleiche passiert auch mit den Worten, die ich spreche. Nichts von dem, was ich sage, wird einfach so zurückkommen, ohne dass es bewirkt hat, was ich will. Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass alles läuft, was ihr macht und was ich vorhabe.“ liest, verstehst du vielleicht, warum der lebendige Gott anders ist als alle anderen Götter!

Alright!! Here's some more fun trivia about the names in Red Dead Redemption 2:
I mentioned it previously but "van der linde" means "from the linden tree" in Dutch (the west germanic language) - so 'Dutch Van Der Linde' just means 'Dutch from the linden tree'.
"Hosea" is a Hebrew name meaning 'salvation' or 'he helps' - In the Hebrew bible, Hosea is seen as a prophet of doom. Quite fitting for how much Hosea predicted the gangs downfall in the game!
John is a commonly occurring name in different versions of the bible, usually meaning 'graced by god' or along those lines - but the last name "Marston" is an English name. It was originally a habitual term but now it's a common last name meaning "a town by a marsh". Huh.
Also mentioned previously, but Arthur Morgan is a notably Welsh name with multiple meanings. "Arthur" derives from the Welsh word for bear (Arth) and "Morgan" is a combination of two Welsh words (Môr and Cant/Gant), which means sea-dweller.
Kieran and Trelawny's horses both have Welsh names too!!
Branwen is also a combination of words, ("bran" and "gwen/gwyn") that means a white or fair crow. Branwen herself was a famous heroine from the tales of the Mabinogion. She was kidnapped by the family she was forcefully married into, her only hope was a white bird she tamed and sent across the seas to alert her family and save her. The choice of name Branwen could be a reflection of how much working with horses had grounded Kieran or acted like a lifeline for him when he needed a place in the gang.
Gwydion is Trelawny's horse, a name also from the Mabinogion! For me it's especially cool because Gwydion was the son of a great goddess of magic - how fitting for Trelawny and his horse! The name itself is a description of a birthplace, Gwydion means "born of the trees". In the story, Gwydion also practiced magic and created his nephew and wife from flowers :)

John 7:40-52
Nicodemus challenged his fellow pharisees.
Tumblr media
Nicodemus Visiting Jesus,
Painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1957),
Painted in 1899,
Oil on canvas
© Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
Gospel Reading
Several people who had been listening to Jesus said, ‘Surely he must be the prophet’, and some said, ‘He is the Christ’, but others said, ‘Would the Christ be from Galilee? Does not scripture say that the Christ must be descended from David and come from the town of Bethlehem?’ So the people could not agree about him. Some would have liked to arrest him, but no one actually laid hands on him.
The police went back to the chief priests and Pharisees who said to them, ‘Why haven’t you brought him?’ The police replied, ‘There has never been anybody who has spoken like him.’ ‘So’ the Pharisees answered ‘you have been led astray as well? Have any of the authorities believed in him? Any of the Pharisees? This rabble knows nothing about the Law – they are damned.’ One of them, Nicodemus – the same man who had come to Jesus earlier – said to them, ‘But surely the Law does not allow us to pass judgement on a man without giving him a hearing and discovering what he is about?’ To this they answered, ‘Are you a Galilean too? Go into the matter, and see for yourself: prophets do not come out of Galilee.’
Reflection on the painting
In today's Gospel reading, we encounter Nicodemus, marking his second of three appearances in the Gospel of John. Initially introduced as a curious seeker who approaches Jesus under the cover of night, Nicodemus is portrayed as intrigued by Jesus yet hesitant to fully embrace his teachings. His journey of faith is subtly woven through John's narrative, culminating in his participation alongside Joseph of Arimathea in ensuring Jesus receives a respectful (indeed, lavish) burial. This progression illustrates Nicodemus's gradual movement towards a deeper understanding and commitment to Jesus. Our reading today is the second (and middle) appearance of Nicodemus. Despite being a Pharisee, he displays remarkable bravery by questioning the outright dismissal of Jesus by his peers, who criticize Jesus based on his origin in Galilee, a region they regard as insignificant compared to the religious hub of Jerusalem. Nicodemus advocates for fairness and due process, arguing that Jesus should not be judged without first being heard. This stance places him at odds with the prevailing opinions of his colleagues, and his challenge is met with scorn, evidenced by their sarcastic comment "Are you from Galilee too?"
Nicodemus's growing relationship with Jesus left him increasingly isolated in the world where he had been so much at home. He actually reminds us that as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, there is often a price to be paid. We may find ourselves a lone voice among our peers. At such times, we know that the Lord is always with us.
Henry Ossawa Tanner painted our canvas in 1899, depicting the first of the three mentions of Nicodemus in John's Gospel (John 3:1-21). The painting was Tanner's entry to the 1899 Paris Salon. We see Nicodemus talking privately to Christ in the evening, a good example of Tanner's nocturnal light paintings. The painting was purchased there for the Wilstadt Collection, Philadelphia, and is now in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The narrative of Nicodemus' meeting with Jesus held significant meaning for Henry Ossawa Tanner's father, Benjamin Tucker Tanner. He was a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and had aspirations for his son to join him in the ministry. While Henry's decision to pursue a career as an artist fell short of his father's dream, his talent for painting ultimately produced works that his father could admire and support.

The Sultan, they said, was a good man. Soft, quickly moved to tears. Out of compassion, he bought the freedom of a Christian woman's stolen daughter. Even Walther von der Vogelweide, the minnesinger in distant Germany, praised the "mildness" of the powerful ruler in the Orient, whose name has a good reputation in the West: Saladin, a righteous man.
He was a man who always kept his word, even to his enemies.
He let his subjects drag him to court, because God's laws applied equally to everyone. Also for him, the ruler who managed to do what no one had ever managed before: to unite the Islamic world of the Middle East after centuries of discord and to wrest Jerusalem, the holy city of the Muslims, from the Christians in 1187.
His name translates as "righteousness of faith", and Saladin is indeed a devout Muslim. Nevertheless, after his conquest of the Holy Land, he allowed the Christians and Jews there to continue praying to their God. This is another reason why, more than half a millennium later, Western Enlightenment thinkers would make him the epitome of the tolerant ruler.
But this al-Malik an-Nasir Salah ad-Din Abu'l-Muzaffer Yusuf ibn Ayyub ibn Shadi, known as Saladin for short, also had other sides.
He could be treacherous, vile and mean. He did not shy away from murder. Nevertheless, this man fascinated his contemporaries. He became one of the most revered rulers of the Islamic world and the most important opponent of the Crusaders.
Saladin was born in 1138 in Tikrit (in present-day Iraq), the son of a Kurdish officer. During his political career, Saladin was the first to bring Egypt's army under his control.
Saladin, a Sunni, now founds two universities where theology is taught according to Sunni theology - a signal that he is on the side of the population. He also abolished a number of taxes that contradicted the Koran and the teachings of the Prophet.
Saladin's subsequent conquests shock the Christian world. By 1174, his power extended from North Africa to the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. In 1186, he ruled from the Nile to the Tigris.
At the height of his power, the Sultan even dreamed of taking the Holy War to Europe, conquering Rome - and putting the Pope in chains.
The Crusaders conquered Jerusalem in 1099 and held it until Saladin besieged it in 1187 and handed it over to the Ayyubid dynasty, a Muslim sultanate that ruled the Middle East at the beginning of the 12th century.
Saladin wanted to recapture the city, which had previously been ruled by Muslims.
For Muslims, Jerusalem is a place where important events in the life of Jesus and other important personalities took place. It is also the place where the Prophet Mohammed ascended to heaven according to the traditional interpretation of the Koran and other texts.
In Sunni Islam, Jerusalem is the third holiest city after Mecca and Medina. Muslims believe that Muhammad was brought to Jerusalem during his night journey (Isra and Mi'raj).
The name Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times in the Holy Qur'an, often in the form 'Isa ibn Maryam, which means "Jesus, son of Mary". In the Quran, he is given the unique title "Messiah" (al-masih in Arabic), which means "anointed one". He is considered one of many prophets from the lineage of the Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham (peace be upon him). Many Muslim traditions regard it as an ideal example of spirituality. Unlike Christians, who generally believe in a triune God, Muslims believe that Jesus was a great prophet who was to lead mankind on the straight path of monotheism and obedience to God (Allah).
When Jerusalem also fell, two kings and an emperor set off for the Holy Land with their armies from 1189 onwards. One of the monarchs is King Richard I of England. Even before the armed pilgrimage, he had already earned himself an honourable name: "Lionheart."
Saladin lies in wait for the Christians in the forests of Arsuf near the Mediterranean coast. But King Richard of England had anticipated the attack; on 7 September 1191, his troops won a clear victory. Nevertheless, the Muslim army is still strong enough to block the road to Jerusalem.
Saladin's reconquest of Jerusalem in 1187 prompted Pope Gregory VIII to organize the Third Crusade. From 1189 to 1192, Saladin lost Acre and Jaffa and was defeated in the field at Arsūf. The Crusaders retreated to Europe without seizing Jerusalem, but Saladin's military reputation had been damaged. He died in 1193.

Rockstar: these names have significance, you see Arthur Morgan comes from the characters Arthur and morgana which represents the duality of man. Isaac is a reference to the biblical Isaac who was to be sacrificed by his own father :)
Rockstar: Hosea is a reference to the prophet Hosea
Rockstar: and Dutch Van der linde is a reference to the Netherlands where Dutch is from. The nether lands can also refer to one's nether regions which is a subtle nod to him being a dick
Rockstar: We name a lot of characters after insightful books and things. But out most sneaky and subtle one is:

Kann Gott sein Versprechen halten ?
Jesaja Kapitel 55 Vers 10 Wenn Regen vom Himmel fällt, fliegt er nicht wieder dorthin zurück. Er fällt auf die Erde und bewässert sie. Dadurch kriegen Pflanzen Wasser, sie fangen an zu wachsen und zu blühen, bis sie Früchte tragen, die ein Bauer ernten kann. Und daraus macht man dann Brötchen fürs Frühstück.
Hat Gott dir ein Versprechen gegeben? Du weißt es nicht - lies mal nach, oder hör mal rein oder schau es dir an:

Resulullah’ın üç nasihati
Hikmet ehli zatlar buyuruyor ki:
Mübarek bir zat, devrin sultanına şunları anlatır:
Peygamber efendimiz, vefatlarına yakın Bilal-i Habeşi’ye buyurdu ki:
Yâ Bilal, ümmetime haber ver ki, şu üç şeyi yaparlarsa, her işte muvaffak olurlar:
1- Ne yaparlarsa, hep Allah rızası için yapsınlar.
İki türlü maksat olur.
Ya Allah rızası için veya nefsin yani insanların rızası için.
İnsanların rızasını tercih edenlerin işini, Cenab-ı Hak insanlara bırakır.
Kendi rızasını tercih edenleri himayesine alır.
Kim Allah içinse, Allah da onun içindir.
Seyyid Abdülkadir Geylani hazretlerine, (Siz ne mübarek bir zatsınız) demişler.
(Nereden biliyorsunuz?) diye sormuş.
(Herkes sizi sevip övüyor) demişler.
Buyurmuş ki, (İnsanlar bizi sevsin diye Müslüman olmadık.
Allah sevsin diye Müslümanız.
Bu insanlara güven olmaz; bugün severler, yarın söverler.)
2- Birlik ve beraberlik içerisinde olsunlar.
Cemaatte rahmet, ayrılıkta azap vardır.
Birlikten kuvvet, ayrılıktan felaket doğar.
Birlik ve beraberlikten maksat, bedenlerin birlik ve beraberliği veya aynı yerde olmak değil, gönüllerin birliği, hedeflerin ortak olmasıdır.
Hedefi Allah rızası olanın yüzü aktır, yardımcısı da Cenab-ı Hak’tır.
3- Asla doğrudan ayrılmasınlar.
Allahü teâlâ doğruların yardımcısıdır. Peygamber efendimiz Müslümanı, (Elinden ve dilinden emin olunan insan) diye tarif etmiştir.
Müslüman demek, doğru insan demektir.
İşi, ameli, sözü doğru, her şeyiyle dürüsttür, gözü gönlü toktur, onda sahtekârlık yoktur.
Doğruluk onun alameti, hem de selametidir.
Bu arada sultan, (Herkese iyilik yapıyorum, ama bazılarından düşmanlık görüyorum. Niçin böyle yaparlar ki?) diye sorar.
O zat der ki:
Sultanım, bunu Peygamber efendimiz şöyle açıklıyor:
(İyilik ettiklerinize çok dikkat edin! Size bir zararları dokunabilir.)
Eğer iyilik edilen kimse, fâsıksa veya din iman tanımıyorsa, bu iyilik onda ters etki yapabilir.
Baklavanın şeker hastasına dokunması gibidir.
Bu yüzden, iyilik ettiğimiz şahıslara karşı dikkatli olmalıyız.
Sohbette bu zatın oğlu da varmış.
Sultan bunları yolcu eder.
Yolda giderken oğlu, (Baba, sen sultana hep dinden bahsettin, nasihat ettin.
Hiç dünya işlerinden, siyasetten bahsetmedin) der.
Babası da, (Oğlum, bizim başka sermayemiz yoktur.
Her kaptan içindeki sızar.
Bizden de bunlar sızdı) buyurur.
Prophet of Islam Muhammad's three advices:
The people of wisdom say:
A blessed person tells the sultan of the time:
Our Master the Prophet said to Bilal-i Abyssinian, who was close to his death:
O Bilal, inform my ummah that if they do these three things, they will be successful in everything:
1- Whatever they do, they should always do it for the sake of Allah.
There are two purposes. Either for the sake of Allah or for the sake of your soul, that is, for the sake of people. Allah Almighty leaves the work of those who prefer people's consent to people. He takes those who prefer his own consent under his protection. Whoever is for Allah, Allah is for him. Sayyid Abdulkadir Geylani said to His Excellency, "What a blessed person you are." (How do you know?) he asked. (Everyone loves and praises you) they said. He said, (We did not become Muslims so that people would love us. We are Muslims so that Allah would love them. These people cannot be trusted; they love today, they curse tomorrow.)
2- Let them be in unity and togetherness.
There is mercy in the congregation, and there is torment in the separation. Unity is strength, separation is disaster. The purpose of unity and solidarity is not the unity of bodies or being in the same place, but the unity of hearts and common goals. The face of the one whose goal is to please Allah is white, and his assistant is Allah Almighty.
3- Never leave directly.
Allahu ta'ala is the helper of the righteous. Our Master the Prophet described a Muslim as a person whose hand and tongue are safe. Muslim means the right person. His work, deeds and words are true, he is completely honest, his eyes are full, there is no dishonesty in him. Righteousness is his sign, as well as his salvation.
Meanwhile, the sultan asks, "I am doing everyone a favor, but I see hostility from some. Why do they do that?" That person says:
My Sultan, our Master the Prophet explains this as follows: (Be very careful with what you do good! They may harm you.)
If the beneficiary is sinful or if the religion does not recognize faith, this favor may have an adverse effect on him. It is like touching the baklava to a diabetic. Therefore, we must be wary of those we do good to.
There was also the son of this person in the conversation. Sultan sends them away. On the way, his son says, "Father, you always talked to the sultan about religion, you gave advice. You never talked about worldly affairs or politics." His father also says, "Son, we do not have any other capital. Every captain leaks inside. These leaked from us, too."
