quote: ORIGINAL: sambamanslilgirl what if the Creator/God or whatever you believe in says, it's her time to die before you, then what? that you have NO control over ...no matter what your title is reposted from the "where is My soulmate?" thread: "Is a soul mate necessary? NO Having a soul mate isn't even a situation that can be valued good or better than not having one. It is very scary living with the fear of losing such a 'mate'. Actually loosing one must be a feeling far exceeds any disappointment of never finding one. When tied so close the very thought of being untied for reasons out of your control weighs heavy in your heart and spirit. Wanting a soul mate doesn't or shouldn't "blind us to the potential happiness all around us". It does however present a goal which may be as painful to obtain as it is to fail to achieve."

if rights only qualify as such if they cannot be revoked, then i suppose i have no rights, only privileges. however people have their "rights" revoked all the time, legally sanctioned at that (i.e. prisoners).

That sounds like "privilege", not "rights". Rights are irrevocable. Privileges can be revoked. Bob, your irrelevancy is staggering...

And slaves 'revoke' their rights, despite the fact any court in the land would enforce those rights if requested. When I speak of "rights" in an M/s relationship I am thinking the master will not, indeed vows to never revoke the right to XYZ. Any other liberty is a "privilege" which can be revoked anytime (or under special conditions, whatever has been negotiated/agreed upon).

quote: ORIGINAL: missturbation I'm curious as to what other sub's /slaves etc think their rights are? I don't have rights but I do have the honor of carrying his name and the priviledges which he grants me. I also have several abilities. For example, I have the ability to ask for release, but not the 'right' to ask for release just as I have the ability to rob a bank but not the right to rob a bank. Himself has set down his laws and I obey those laws by vow and action. Celeste

He's always made it clear that he giveth, and he can taketh away...this applies to all things: rights/privileges, food, shelter, life, the cat, my doll collection, etc.

I SUCK! You let it inspire you to do your best at all times, and hope you never have to face that loss. With my wife, a few years younger than me, I thought she would be the one to face this loss, not me. Life decided to surprise me. [:(]

quote: ORIGINAL: Bobkgin Rights are irrevocable. Privileges can be revoked. Bob, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. Please name me one "right" that anyone has that cannot be taken away in one fashion or another. As I said above... quote: ORIGINAL: TreasureKY Unfortunately, that takes us into a philosophical debate over what exactly a "right" is. All I can say is that in order for a right to be inalienable, it must be acknowledged and respected. I may say I have the right to live, but if an individual deprives me of my life (murders me), have they not denied me my right? Does that mean that my "right" was really only a privilege? Essentially, "rights" and "privileges" differ only in how they are accepted and respected by those around us. In other words, those around us are the ones to determine what is a right and what is a privilege. Our only "right" is to change who we associate with... except in cases where we have no choice (as in being imprisioned). In which case maybe it's just a privilege, after all. [;)]

You previous contributions make clear you don't see yourself having any irrevocable rights.

That sounds like "privilege", not "rights". Rights are irrevocable. Privileges can be revoked. On what planet, Bob?

It has been argued by many scholars that the only rights we have are those granted to us by the government of the country we are living in. One argument against the "inalienable" rights granted in our own constitution is that the phrase "We hold these truths to be self-evident...." which then leads into a statement about what "the Creator" has granted to be merely a more eloquent example of "because WE say so". Someone noted on here that they have the right to be happy....in all honesty, show me the law or the theological doctrine that states that. We BELIEVE we have the right to be happy but there is no law granting that right. If there were, than that makes someone responsible for breaking the law when it comes to homeless people...as an example...because they surely are not happy.

Bob - Guess you are back "peeking" - How brave! By my count, and admittedly I don't hang on your every post as it seems you do with us, you've had a "pain-slut" wife of 10 years, 5 slaves (one "falsely represented bi-sexual"), and a number of subs. Your computer keys must be practically wore out. All withdrawn from your dominance due to their "betrayal of trust", even after going through your stringent and all exposing "evaluation" and "interview" process? Perhaps you need to reassess the effectiveness of your process. However I'm happy to know you believe my words are inspiration. I'll quote you on that in the future.

gentlethistle -> RE: I have the right!! (10/5/2007 12:14:08 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: littlebitxxx I think the one inviolable "right" that every slave should have is the right to be happy. All the limits, privileges, negotiations seem to stem from that. I don't believe that anyone has the right to be happy. Some people don't have the luxury of happiness in their life. I think that being allowed 'the pursuit of happiness' is about the best that one could hope to be granted by another human being. Laura

What helps me with this issue is to appreciate each moment that I have with him and not dwell on the inevitable time when those moments are gone and all that are left are memories. Like Merc, Himself has ordered me not to die before him unless he's the one who kills me. I'm not allowed to die by natural causes, accidents, acts of God or my own hand. As he said, he'll see just what kind of slave I am by how well I follow that decree. [;)] You don't have to live in fear when you can choose to live in joy. Celeste

You know...like waiting for the other shoe to fall. I need to figure this out, because I WILL NOT live the rest of my life in fear...I just won't. I CAN'T. breath as one, (GREAT reflection of the concept by the way!) The key is not to live the rest of your life in fear. The key it to LIVE! Experience all you can together. The goal is not to let these feeling be a barrier to fun and enjoyment you share but a foundation for fun and enjoyment experienced together. Too often people compromise time with people doing things they enjoy with doing things they "have to". It should be the other way around. The conscience effort should be in doing those things together. It speaks to many of our "rules" people don't understand or smirk at. The "no master - but Master" rule for instance. Next Monday, I'm on the road on business for three days in Sacramento; beth will be with me. We just came back from 4 days at Folsom. If beth had an outside job it would be difficult, if not impossible, for her to accompany me. Could we live "better" if she was bringing more money into the household? NO. Not by our definition, because there is no "living", and no "better" being apart. Coming back from this year's Folsom where we learned an acquaintance who we saw and talked to for the past three years died, we were reminded of the fragile nature of life. Our most recent journal post reflects our feelings, summarized by "Suck the bone from the marrow of life!" The quote is a reference to the movie, "Dead Poets Society"; the more know quote, "Carpe Diem!" also serves. Obviously there are no teeth in the "you must die first" rule for beth. The reality is it is an illustration of my weakness and cowardliness while as the same time showing my confident belief in beth's strength. Of course she denies that strength as she would argue against my weakness. It's a purely theoretical and unenforceable Master's privilege "rule". Funny - until the superficiality of the words are digested within the context of a relationship. Edited to add paragraph 2.
