ORIGINAL: Homestead "Top's disease," the tendency for some Dom/mes to grow into a sense of infallibility or omniscience ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've had to eat some crow in the past over this on a personal level. It happened when I was into this about five years. Fortunately, a sense of reality and of how badly it was effecting my ability to relate competently managed to help me get past it. I feel that a bit of humility is essential in a Dominant being able to lead a well balanced life. Mistakes are how we learn not to make the same ones. Denial of them dooms repetition. Ever had to deal with Top's disease? Much as I hate to admit it...yeah, I have. It still happens rarely...usually when, as someone else pointed out, I'm not feeling all that secure about something. The first time I was brought down to earth was when a submissive friend of mine whispered in my ear, with a smile on her face...you know CD, you really AREN'T the end-all/be-all. If you were, then all the rest of these submissives would be climbing over me to get to you...and I'm still in one piece. Of course...I still know inside that I AM the Lord High Grand Puba...Grand for short, if you like. [:D]
