ORIGINAL: SocratesNot I think you are a very good person littlewonder. In general, I think subs are very good people. Maybe even too good. The only thing I am sometimes bothered with is "Do masters deserve subs being so good to them?" Volunteering is a great thing! I tend to think that it is a little better place for exercising your good will and giving nature. LOL! Your questions are comments are delightfully fresh. Like a clean breeze in these musty 10-year-old-sneakers-and-unwashed-gym-shorts forums. Ignore the anti-intellectuals urging you to stop speaking and just brainlessly be; speech is what forums are for. If one wants to brainlessly be, one can go climb a mountain and gaze at the be-yoo-ti-ful white *fluffy* clouds, you know? ;) Masters deserve subs being so good to them under at least two circumstances (there may be more): 1. If the subs have decided they deserve it. or 2. If such masters are capable of changing their subs' realities so that they are convinced they deserve it. Same diff, pretty much, but there are always many ways of looking at the same thing, I think. I get cold, dry, and shriveled when I think about volunteering for an abstract cause. I cannot (make that will not) perform service except in the context of doing it personally for another, special human being. The personal is all for me. But I'm a rather extreme version of the anti-group, anti-cause, anti-ideals (or as they once said, anti-establishment) type of personality.
