ORIGINAL: Padriag
Reading this thread was... interesting, to say the least.
I find the original question troubling, and one that personally I think is best answered with another question.
Under what realistic, reasonable circumstances would a Master ask a slave to steal or kill for him?
To me the orginal question is absurd, and smacks of being the type asked in order to entrap a slave in such a way that sets her up for failure regardless of how she answers. Its like asking a slave would she commit suicide if her Master told her to. Would a slave kill her children if ordered... are you people NUTS! Are we talking realistic healthy Master/slave relationships here or bizarre ficticious online cults? When I began my own journey in this lifestyle over a decade ago nobody I knew asked these kinds of questions, probably because most I knew then would have replied rather bluntly "What kind of stupid question is that? Are YOU nuts?" and dismissed the questioner as some lunatic out to attack the lifestyle. Today I see five pages of replies taking the question seriously, my how times change.
The original question has no context whatsoever, it asks the unlikely and absurd without ever offering under what realistic, reasonable circumstances such would actually occur. These kinds of questions don't deserve answers and they certainly don't deserve to be taken seriously. If the question had been something like "If your Master asked you to lie in public about the nature of your relationship (M/s) in order to conceal it and keep it private, would you do so?" is a question that could be taken seriously, it has context, it provides a realistic senario in which a slave living in a real M/s relationship in the real world might find herself. If the question had been, "suppose your Master is flat broke and is about to lose everything he owns to the bill collectors, would you steal in order to support him?" is not a question to be taken seriously. True it provides context, but its not a realistic context. It is not realistic because in first place in a M/s relationship the Master is always the one responsible for things and thus its up to him to deal with his financial problems. Secondly, its not realistic because in that situation there are other possible and better solutions that a sane and reasonable Master would be much more likely to pursue... like getting a job, having the slave get a job, they both get a job, file for bankruptcy, apply for debt relief, etc. and the question does not allow for nor consider these more likely events.
I can't help but think that these questions are asked either by online wannabe's engaging in theoretical explorations of things they have no direct knowledge of or experience with; or by people with a hidden agenda to attack and tear down the M/s relationship through indirected and unethical means. Either way, my answer to the question remains "What kind of stupid question is that, are you nuts?" And that, in my opinion, is exactly how the original poster should have replied when asked this ridiculous question.
But that's just my opinion, YMMV
I completely agree......and seriously worry about those that would lie, kill and cheat cause they were told too.....dont think that is what this lifestyle is about.
