ORIGINAL: FullCircle No one is totally selfless. No one knows everyone, FC. There might be totally selfless people out there somewhere. I don't really see that being the point though. There are people, myself included, who believe in selfless love and who strive to be more selfless than we are. quote:
When I see a so called selfless person I’m just waiting for the mask to fall as everyone else is. If that is your choice. If you get enough people hounding someone how many people wouldn't find that annoying to be on the receiving end? Selflessness doesn't mean anyone is a doormat to anyone. It is the selfish who treat others as doormats, not the selfless. quote:
A selfless master: one that pretends that punishment is educational and gets nothing out of doing it? A selfless master has accepted what he is, just as a selfless slave has accepted what she is. In a selfless relationship, there is no need for punitive measures, only instruction. Bear in mind, there is no antagonism between goals within the relationship I've described. The slave wants to learn, the master wants to teach. That plus patience and understanding and there is never any need for punishment. In the ten+ years I knew my wife, I never punished her. Instructing her was always fun.
