"Worthless lump of dog shit", she said. "That is what my master has decided to call me, and that is what I am". I found myself profoundly saddened just reading it. I can honestly say that I have never even thought that about a slave, much less said it. I can say without hesitation that if I ever had thought something like that, it would have been shortly before the door slammed behind the slave. If words like that are meant, why would a slave be kept? If words like that aren't meant, and it is understood between the master and the slave that they aren't meant, why would they have any effect on the listener at all? My general impression of folks who speak to others in this way is that it is to salve a wanting self-image by degrading those around them. Is that why the "worthless lump of dog shit" is kept? To make the man feel better about himself? Does the "worthless lump of dog shit" stay because that is what she actually thinks about herself? Don't get me wrong, I have been known to be a no-nonsense master that accepts precious little bullshit from a slave, and will remind them of their place in no uncertain terms, but, in terms, I'd like to think, that I have chosen carefully to enhance self-esteem, not destroy it. As I have said before, I think it is important for the wise owner of a slave to enhance the value of his property. I'm probably going to get some grief here about not dissing someone else's "kink" but I'm having a hard time not seeing the scenario above as simply co-dependant and dysfunctional. I'd love to hear why it isn't. Take care of yourselves. Leonidas
