CaraCaeth -> RE: Protecting Your Dominant (1/15/2008 1:14:26 PM)

I absolutely feel that i have a duty to protect my Master. It is my responsibility to take care of Him; wouldn’t protecting Him fall into that category as a matter of course? However, i can see the point of the question. The Master is the “strong” one of the pair as the dominant. In my own relationship, my Master is stronger than I am physically, mentally, emotionally. A Master would not normally been viewed as someone needed protection. However, just because He does not need me to protect him does not mean that i would not if the situation arose. There is also the possibility of someone viewing “protecting” as if the person being protected was weak; which would assault the sensibilities of any good Master or submissive/slave alike. However, not only the weak need protection. For example, if i were to witness something harmful to my Master that He was unaware of, it would not make Him weak for me to prevent Him from coming to harm by protecting Him. On another note, it is a natural tendency for anyone to protect someone they love. i not only serve my Master, i love Him with all my heart and soul. If for no other reason than that, i would make any sacrifice i had to in order to protect Him; second only to the protection I would give my children. Because of that, while i do feel it is my duty and responsibility to protect my Master, it is something instinctive for me that i would never even think twice before acting on. It is not a task, a chore, or an obligation for me; it is a desire, a spontaneous reaction, and a part of my life. There can be a true grandeur in any degree of submissiveness, because it springs from loyalty to the laws and to an oath, and not from baseness of soul. - Simone Weil (1910-1943, French Philosopher, Mystic)
