Oh I agree, it can be hypocritical and it certainly seems odd to me. But then there's a lot of hypocricy in the world, and people will do as they will do. Speaking for myself, I have high standards for what I look for in a slave, but I reserve the highest standards for myself. I dress as well as I am able, I keep myself and my home clean, I take care of my things, and I have invested a lot of time and energy into being the best person I know how to be. I'm not perfect, I'm too skinny and anyone who has seen my photo knows I'm a beanpole. I don't eat as well or as often as I should and sometimes I forget to go to sleep... usually when I'm engrossed in some project or book. Maybe if I had a good slave to look after me in those areas... ah well... all things in time. I don't smoke, I confine my drinking to something with a meal and never get drunk, I'm drug and disease free (unless you count the occasional cold) and in general I'm pretty healthy and still enjoy a 4 or 5 mile hike as a fun, spur of the moment thing to do. So yes, I expect a lot, but I offer a lot too, I think that's a fair exchange. What others choose to do is their business, even if it is hypocritical, I've got enough trying to keep me sorted out without worrying what the next guy or gal is doing. Geez I'm getting mellow.
