Ow.
quote:
why can't you just substitute submissive and they be good?
Numbers one, two and three are definitely good for anyone. Number four is good for one who would have another person direct their growth as a person and who they will be in the future. Number five is good for one who would place obedience to another above their own moral concerns, legal considerations and so forth. These latter two are not typical of what submissives have expressed on this forum and elsewhere.
I could not hold to be free someone who embraces the latter two, nor recognize as a slave soneone who neither embraces them, nor lives by them, nor is forced into being compliant with them, except: in the legal sense, in places that recognize slavery as an institution; the mental sense of being sheep; or the philosophical sense of defining oneself in terms of what one is not, rather than in terms of what one is. Simple enough?
Submission is a response that is inherent in most, if not all, humans. What will bring it to the surface on its own varies, as does the intensity of the response. One who wishes to submit to another, but does not find that urge stirring in that person's presence, can be helped to do so through words, actions, control, etc. on part of that person, eventually habituating the response in relation to that person. None of these strictly correspond to being a slave, and it generally remains reasonable to retain an option to leave in some manner, as well as retaining moral judgments, personal responsibility and the like. One does not, in short, compromise sovereignty to a substantial extent.
Was that clearer?
I haven't had my caffeine yet, so I can but hope I didn't bungle the explanation.
Health,
al-Aswad.
