I'll try not to get too long winded with this. Last year, I was at a very good presentation where the subject of "good enough" came into discussion. What the slave hears, and potentially feels, is that she (and I say 'she' because girl kat brought the question) is that there could have been greater effort, better results, lack of reaching a certain expectation, being less pleasing, or a dozen other possibilities. That isn't necessarily what the Master/Mistress is saying, but it is what is interpreted by the slave. During the discussion, the example was given about setting a table for a formal dinner party. The slave may wish to spend several hours laying out the table. Make every setting perfect. Spend hours aligning each item, so the Master and the guests will see the slave's devotion in hopes of serving. Instead, the M allots much less time to the task. Enough to set a good table, but not a perfect one. In the M's eyes, it is good enough. That is the expectation that has been set, even if the slave sees a different one. It was up to the M's standards, but not necessarily the slave's. "Good enough" can, at times, be very disappointing to hear by someone who is hoping to reach all heights in pleasing. Thank you, slave kat, for reminding Me of that excellent seminar.
