ORIGINAL: farmlandsub Does one serve for one of these three reasons? If so, which of the three? Or do you serve for an entirely different reason, or emotion, not included here? I serve my Master because I love him, yes...but that would not be enough, in and of itself, for me to do so. I serve because it pleases me to do so, and thus, is selfish. I serve him because it is satisfying to me to do so- and I do not serve others at the expense of myself, nor do I extend my services without reason or a mutual benefit. That's not to say that I am "picky" about it, as LA mentioned, though- I don't sit there and say "well, I don't want to do this, because I don't like it, and thus it doesn't satisfy me to do so", etc.- I know that regardless of the type of service he is asking of me, I have my reward in my own pleasure of seeing his satisfaction and happiness. This is why I see service and my relationship with him as a trade agreement- we both derive equal good from what is done, regardless of who is doing what. behindmirrors.
