knees2you -> Does this sum up Slaves? (3/28/2006 11:19:02 PM)
Ok was thinking about what sums up Slaves? Do You think This Sums it up Very well, or not at all? A slave is an individual who is wholly under the control and or power of another individual. Having surrendered freely his or her rights and privileges as an individual, and with both knowledge and forethought forfeited all freedom to act as an independent entity. A slave is the property of the owner; all that a slave has belongs to the owner, this includes his or her person, labor and belongings. A slave is devoted to the service and the will of his or her owner and serves with both honor and distinction. Focused on a sense of duty and devotion a slave thrives at the opportunity to provide unconditional service and to exceed his or her owners expectations for Their Master or Mistress.

Some will embrace it, some won't. Some, like me, will embrace parts of it and leave others parts untouched. Celeste

*I find that definition far more accurate than most D/s definitions of the word slave, thank you.*

SoulfulSadism -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 1:09:45 AM)
It's an idealized definition - more like a constitution/charter for the 'slave country'. I'd say "a slavegirl is a woman who gives herself up totally - and this makes her feel herself and free". (Modify as appropriate for other genders)

i don't think there will ever be anything that completely sums up what a slave is. Alot of the descriptions of what a slave is, tends to be broad spectrum nowadays. The word "slave" means something different to each Master/slave. Each slave may identify with words or sentences within a definition, but everyone is different.. we identify with different aspects of our slavery.. there is no "one set way". This is just my opinion and not one of others.

SoulfulSadism -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 1:28:17 AM)
What'd you characterize as the distinctions between a sub and a slave ?

doves -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 1:41:58 AM)
this thread isn't about how i see or characterize differences.. each person has a different view of how their slavery or submission is to them. How i view mine may well be completely different to that of others..

quote: Having surrendered freely his or her rights and privileges as an individual, and with both knowledge and forethought forfeited all freedom to act as an independent entity. I don't embrace this part. For me, power was taken, not given. He wanted it, he took it. quote: A slave is devoted to the service and the will of his or her owner and serves with both honor and distinction. Nor this. This I don't embrace because of the word distinction.. it seems to be self-serving to me. To much focus on the slave and not enough on Master. quote: Focused on a sense of duty and devotion a slave thrives at the opportunity to provide unconditional service and to exceed his or her owners expectations for Their Master or Mistress. I don't focus on a sense of duty.. I don't serve because of a sense of duty. I focus on Master and serve because I must... to do anything else means I'm not true to my nature. And I serve as I am capable of serving. I think it would be the height of hubris for me to think I exceeded expectations because I may excel at something he required. It's my belief that he expects the very best I have to offer.. how can I exceed that? Celeste ::edited to try to repair weird font::

ivorylace -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 4:31:21 AM)
Its a pretty good definition and I agree with what is said here by most. A slave becomes a slave when her Master feels her service is complete.... imo anyway. ~ lace

doves -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 4:41:58 AM)
"feels her service is complete" ?? most strive throughout their lives for this ..... it is a life of continous learning ... one stops learning the day one dies

ivorylace -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 5:22:52 AM)
We can play with words if you want. I will always learn, but there is a time where a Master feels her service is complete. At least for me. ~ lace

No, for me it's authority. quote: A slave is devoted to the service and the will of his or her owner and serves with both honor and distinction. The "distinction" bit certainly isn't universal. quote: Focused on a sense of duty and devotion a slave thrives at the opportunity to provide unconditional service and to exceed his or her owners expectations for Their Master or Mistress. There's no unconditional service.

Well, I know I post this thing all over the forums, but, to me, this is a much better explanation. It doesn't talk about ownership or transfer of property, only about the heart. It's the heart, I feel, that makes a slave. All the rest is negotiable. http://www.arizonapowerexchange.org/academy/slave.htm Fire

valeca -> RE: Does this sum up Slaves? (3/29/2006 7:03:44 AM)
I'd identify as a hybrid of what Celeste and LuchyAlbatross decribed, and will add: quote: Having surrendered freely his or her rights and privileges as an individual, I can't agree that I give up my right as an individual. No matter my submission to my Master, I am still an indiviual. It is my uniquness as such that attracted Master in the first place. Without it, I am nothing more than a copy of everyone else, with nothing of distinction to offer Him.

quote: ORIGINAL: SoulfulSadism What'd you characterize as the distinctions between a sub and a slave ? For me, the difference isn't really that great, and it's more of a semantical difference in my life, but it goes like this...I can be made to submit. A look, a tone of voice, a tool from the tool box, and I can and will change my direction. I can be taken by the hand, or a handful of hair and made to do something, whether I want to or not…my body can be made to do what someone who has control wants it to do…but I can not be made to surrender. No one can make me think this, want that…no one can take my mind, unless I make a conscious choice to let it go, to give it over, to entrust it to another’s care and direction. Surrender is a choice that only I can make, but once made, that choice binds me tighter than any bondage I've experienced. Inside of that place of surrender, I have no limits, no safe word, no need to take control back. In that place of surrender, I can trust that the Dominant who has chosen me will protect me, care for me, not abuse or harm me. For in that place of absolute surrender, his wants become my wants. His needs become my needs. His desires become my desires...in essence, I become his.
