ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth beth feels that her slavery IS the core of who she is, her development, and her talents; innate or other. I will have her respond in more detail directly to this issue, because hearing her speak for herself on this issue in the past, I know her convictions are stronger then I could relate speaking for her. Especially regarding any challenge to her self-esteem and value not only to me, but to herself. this slave has been a slave for a long time...spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally.....a servant of one kind or another in the vanilla world for as long as this slave can remember, which was one of the reasons the "slave" way of life felt so comfortable as soon as this slave discovered it's existance. this slave has seen God wink at her more than once with regards to this. Master has nurtured His slave's submissive nature and encourages His slave to pursue any intellectual or social pursuit that would interest or further stimulate her growth, as a slave and as a human being. the only mindless automatons around here are the puter and a few appliances. this slave chose to follow a path of slavery that has vibrated her soul and felt the most natural thing to do, but it has also required, over time, for this slave to reject society's popular stereotype of what a "successfull" woman does, full of ambition, freedom and the societal nod of approval to pursue whatever career she chooses, naked or otherwise, for material gain....the hardest part was overcoming the brainwashing (by parents, public/private education, peers, pop culture, even church!) to pursue a career and make materialistic or financial gains a measure of personal success. it is a common thread in every level of our society, save a few religious orders, that regardless of one's talents, gifts, education or skills, unless one is ambitiously making money at it(the more the better!), one is either unfortunate, physically ill, mentally ill or headed in that direction. we(our collective western society) have decided to determine a person's "worth" as how much money they have, assets or liquid--not the priceless value of their selves as human beings and the unique gifts they posess of some innate or learned skill to contribute. at times in this slave's life, this slave has earned a paycheck for her talents and skills. other times this slave volunteered her time. this slave has also bartered time and/or assets for other services or goods. this slave has lived in times of poverty and times of great excess. that was then and this is now. upon acceptance of Master's collar, this slave fully understood that it was important to Master for Him to provide for His slave in every way and He has. becoming financially dependent on Him was a sacrifice that this slave was able and willing to make. this slave respects Master's wishes and authority over her and is extremely grateful that Master appreciates her talents and skills. if this slave had any ambition to earn a paycheck, then that is what she would be doing. this slave's ambition is to please Master and although that might sound like just following orders, it is not that simplistic. among a myriad of other things, it pleases Master to have intellectual conversations, to be able to relax when He comes home, to enjoy social occasions(vanilla or non), to travel and explore, to push and expand this slave's physical and mental limits. our relationship would not have the same dynamic and this slave doubts it would even exist if this slave desired another Master(employer).
