Well my answer to that would have been "yes" simple because I had faith in him to degree that IF he would order me to jump of a bridge, he'd have a sufficiently good reason for doing so, and staying on the bridge would have more negative results then jumping.
Only if you think that he is perfect, which means he can't be wrong, you can do such thing as jump from the bridge even without any thinking at all, as you explained by:
quote:
If he would have told me “Jump, NOW!” I would have jumped.
But I will ask you 2 absolutely unreasonable questions, so that we can in theory explain the nature of your obedience, is it really automatic, or you actually choose to obey.
So , would you kill an innocent person if he ordered you to, in a situation when you have absolutely no clue why he orders it?
Would you kill yourself, if he ordered it?
Two things here:
As stated, in her case, she trusts him well enough to know that he has her best interests in mind and would not ask her to jump without good cause.
Some people might jump for an entirely different reasons, more on that in a moment.
When THIS dominant man found me and we got to know each other, one of my requirements was that he be trustworthy and a part of that includes, that my best interests are important to him.
It was my further knowedge and understanding of him that made me want to be worthy of being His, if you will and so, I know he would not ask me to harm someone innocent (as you say) or myself.

As far as I know, none of us go to the deli counter and simply take the next Dom or sub that is available when they call our number.
For most of us our partners are chosen carefully.
As for the bridge question: in a metaphorical sense it could be seen as analagous to this bit by
Guillaume Apollinaire:
"Come to the edge, he said. They said: We are afraid. Come to the edge, he said. They came. He pushed them and they flew."

You are obviously are very literal person, which is complicated by the fact that you admittedly overthink things. That must be exhausting.
I offer you something I first saw in a CM post.
Whether it makes any sense to you in life or in D/s... remains to be seen.
Faith
When you walk to the edge of all the light you have
and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown,
you must believe that one of two things will happen:
There will be something solid for you to stand upon,
or you will be taught how how to fly
