ORIGINAL: Tebo To qualify, what I mean is that sugar, flour, water, salt and baking soda are the perfect ingredients to bake a cake. They in and of themselves may not be perfect but the probability in the proper proportions should yield a cake, albeit devoid perfection, but at least acceptable. But that's a generalization. I make healthy cakes without flour and they are excellent. Some people put eggs in their cakes. Even here, you can't generalize. In my opinion, by wanting so much to measure and quantify this, you are setting up all kinds of limits and boundaries that will only limit you in the end. quote:
As an example, one of the ingredients I know shouldn't be in an Owner is copious amounts of debt, up too or maybe even past the point of being manageable. I think logic dictates, if you can't control or have control as much as possible of the world outside slave ownership, how are you possibly going to be to control me. Everybody has a threshold of what they can handle. This might be yours, but it might not be for others. You absolutely have the right to set criteria for what it is that you want to find in a partner (I know you say owner, but in the end, it's a partner). It is likely that there are criteria that are more common than others, but your criteria might not be the same as another's. An exercise that it always helpful is to write down on a piece of paper all the things you'd like to have in a partner and all the things you'd like to avoid. Next, the reality check comes in. Sort out all the things you're not willing to compromise on from the things that you are. Then finally, look at the final picture and see if this is realistic to ask of a person, and also realistically within your reach.
