While I agree that the concept of being someone's knight or rescuer is terribly over-rated, and that taking on the task of completely remaking someone is usually futile and not worth the effort, I fully believe in the concept of training and improving someone.

As a slave I accept and expect that many of my habits and perspectives will be actively changed to suit the Owners purposes. Whether it's quitting ice cream, quitting a job or quitting my worry habits, part of my relationship is such that I accept to work with him to change and train myself to become the best fit for him.

Now, it's usually best to find someone who ALREADY fits to a good degree, or who you will be fulfilled with and can train over time. And sometimes you find after you "fit" with someone, you change and no longer fit eachother at all, that's life.

But I think there's a level of reasonability here that we shouldn't lose sight of- on either side of the fence.
