ORIGINAL: daddysprop247 first i see two separate issues in the things you mention above: things revolving around self-improvement, like achieving something one has always desired but never felt capable of...and things involving service to one's Master, like learning to share his passions or earning money for him. imo self-improvement, while nice and appropriate for some, does not result in one's growth as a slave. there is a difference between growing as an independent, free person, and growing as a slave. the latter category...service...imo only involves growth as a slave if one faces challenges and hardships along the way. this in no way means that acquiring certain skills in order to better serve and please one's Master is without value or purpose if it comes easily and without suffering or sacrifice. just that i am not sure where the "growth" (again, as a slave, not a person) is in such situations. Well slaves are people, I'm not sure what you mean by growth as a slave and not a person? I'm owned so therefore a slave, so everything that expands my knowledge, world view, increases my value is growth as slave as far as I can tell. I'm not an independent, free person, I'm owned, so I'm not growing as an independent free person but as a slave. It isn't self-improvement, it improvement of property. Obviously you mean something specific and I simply don't undersand what you are getting at. What if the only thing that would be a "hardship" to the girl would be to be homeless, destitute, and starving? Everything else kind of pales in the face of that. Should he boot her ass out to, lose use of her, lose her income potential, to make her grow as a slave in the way -most- satsifying to her or should he as the owner tell her to get over it?
