Please note this is a fast reply :) Taking the murder mention and spinning it around a little :) Saying that I technically have the choice of staying with my Owner, is like saying you choose not to commit murder. Is it a choice? Yes. People choose not to kill their exwhatever all the time. How many actually think it's a possibility though? I mean they could, technically do it, but do they actually consider it a choice? Or is it simply something that is accepted as not in the realm of plausible consideration? Do you choose, actively, as in you really believe it's a choice, to not rob a bank? (Obviously if we have any bank robbers or murderers here this doesn't apply to them! Just ignore that line and go about your plotting ) Choice is a perception and we all have choices that while technically, somewhere, in the back of your head, you know exist, don't actually get regarded as choices at all. Do you choose to make money? Or to deal with your dying parents that made you crazy all your life? You could choose not to do either of those, and yet, really, is it a choice? Do you recognize that you choose to live today verses killing yourself? It's a choice. Is it an active decision? Are they things you even are aware of choosing? Could you be driven to any of those? Sure. Could I be driven to leave my owner? Sure. It's just as likely though as you (whoever you are) to decide that you are going to burn down your local grocer. They are choices that do not present, in your head, as a choice, that would only become active decisions if something set your world upside down. I chose to be with my Owner in the beginning. I chose a man I felt would probably not wish to decapitate me at some point in time... I admit, I am silly that way. Every other choice, hard limit, what have you, has fallen by the way side. If you want to say because I chose an Owner who wasn't into amputation that I do have limits and simply picked a Man with similar limits, knock yourself out. Of course, you are ignoring every other thing I do daily that I never thought I would, but okay, I'll give you that, ridiculous as it is, I'll giveit to you. I'll give you that today I choose to not kill anyone, including me, not to rob a bank, not to light my house on fire, and to stay with my owner... those choices are all about on par with each other :) I also admit that I speak from a place of happiness. I do countless things I don't like, I do things I never thought I would, I'm debased in ways I would have thought I'd never accept. Yet, so far, he has sucked me in so totally that I simply find a way to wrap my mind around what he wishes, accept it, and find great joy in serving him (even when it's terribly difficult). If he were to lose the ability to bend my brain into seeing what he wishes it to see, then perhaps I would find my world upside down, set the house on fire, rob a bank, and run for the hills. ~ownedbyPF
