ORIGINAL: LuckyAlbatross I'd disobey for a lot of people's good. Let's say my master told me to sit and be quiet outside a cafe one day. I could see a robber and be able to shout to someone to watch out or get help or run to a nearby police person. If i did that i would be obeying the command to have common sense. ;) On the flip side, one night my Master was talking to me and said "Stand there." as he had me stand by the bed while he lay down to talk. In the course of talking, he fell asleep....and did not wake up until morning...and saw me standing there. I agree with both of you. LuckyAlbatross for having common sense, when a slave's actions will save life / lives, then protocol takes the second place to that. ownedgirlie for having complete obedience and dedication. I respect both you and your master in this case, and that is exactly the type of thing I'm talking about. Uncomfortable yes. Perhaps not even planned by the Owner. Showing complete devotion and obedience, as well as a great amount of discipline -- YES, definately. Haya Sierra --- Funny, i just experienced the need to disobey due to an emergency. Just the other night my mom called, in a panic, gasping at me to come over, now, and call 911, there was a situation with my father. i received this call in the middle of writing a report for my Master, which was due that night. i called 911, hopped in the car, and met my parents at the hospital. Left Master a voicemail on the way. Spent the entire night at the hospital. When i came home at 6am to change, brush my teeth and gather some of my belongings (needed to go back to hospital), i stopped for an hour to finish his report. i needed to. It gave me solace to write, and to finish what was requested. And knowing other family was with my dad in that hour, and that his short term situation was not life-critical, i knew it was okay. i think no one in their right mind would say "i can't go to the hospital; i have a report due." There are ways of juggling. There are ways of obeying in the best way possible under circumstances. And that is what my Master requires. Was i punished for disobedience? Hell no. If my reasons for being late on the report were for something else - say i was too tired and decided to go to bed - He would have had something to say about that. Common sense goes a long way.
