MarcusLaRue -> RE: What is the best expectation to have for a sub/slave? (12/18/2010 2:20:45 PM)

As others have mentioned, there are no disappointments without expectations.....so that's the cost. The "pay off" for having expectations...IMHO it is that our ego has a moment of satiation when our expectations are met. Is the pay off worth the potential cost?? Methinks not. It is impossible to live in the "NOW" w/ expectations. Do we, as humans, have a choice over whether to have expectations or not.....no, not as long as "ego" is still prominent....however, the more the ego is deconstructed the less need we have for expectations. So, having a Master that has little expectations of you does not necessarily indicate he doesn't care, or isn't involved, it may be that he realizes that you are "perfect in your imperfection" while on your path to be the "perfect" slave. (The joy is in the journey, not the destination) Of course, expectations can also be useful as a "tool"....to help sub/slave deconstruct her ego when she fails. <winks>
