Hi all....have seen several posts lately in other threads that prompted me to create this one.  Many here seem quick to proclaim others as fake or unintelligent because they are not being logical, or because they are not able to "get it"; "it" in most instances being another person's perspective or belief on something.  There have been many comments about "The One True Way" club...which has me thinking...

Is there not really only one true way?  Now, don't pounce yet- the caveat being, one true way for ~each~ of us?  Which would  mean that there are as many potential "true ways" on Collarme.com as there are people registered here?   While some are more understanding, or more receptive, to the way others see things- and some are a lot more tolerant of the ways others live; is not the true way for any individual ~their~ way? 

The reason I bring this up is that, sometimes when we spout off about another person not being able to see reason, or logic- it's not that their logic is flawed (which seems to be the assumption) as much as it's that it has a different origin and development from our own.  After all, when terms like 'slave' and 'submissive' are no longer simply definitions, when they are all tied up with who a person is, and the words themselves take on emotional importance (in addition to individually defined meanings) it's very easy to disreagrd the views of people who see things differently- and yet, is it not in diversity that we learn and grow?     

I know the "true way" for me has evolved immensely over the years.  It's nowhere near where I started out- and I suspect it's still far from being where it will ultimately end up.  Just something I try to keep in perspective when talking to others.  I'd love to hear others thoughts on this...

Thanks,
sNs        


Gawwwddd....that was really fucking long.
