Honor each Trust that is placed in you and Value the Gift of Submission.
Know that you play with a human being, a living creature with needs and desires, strengths, fears and frailties. Do not DARE to present yourself in any light other than that of truth. Never lose sight of your responsibility in this. Live in the awareness that you exercise control over another person's life; not a "lesser" person's life, an "other" person's life.
If you would call yourself "Master" before anyone else confers this upon you, you are either a fool or a thief .. or both. A fool in that you mistake the echo of your emptiness for resonance. A thief in that you take a piece of life from those around you, unearned, and are both unwilling and unable to return it.
It is a powerful thing that we do.
A beautiful thing when done well. |
