ORIGINAL: Surrenderwithin To me having a slaves heart means my heart misses a beat when my Master is displeased and the slightest way. It means my heart beats faster anytime I feel his gaze on me.... it means he is the very reason I wish for my heart to beat. Having a slave heart means to my service to him is the number one most important thing in my life and my world. He is my meaning, my reason, and why I exist. I believe serving him was my destiny and the very reason I was created. I have the heart of a slave and I believe that my heart would stop beating if I were to ever lose him and leap from my chest should he ever be gone. And what about someone who feels exactly the same way about their partner? Or child? Or slave? That's the problem- all the experiences you describe are experienced by all orientations. There's nothing specifically "slavish" about it. Remember- service does not equal submission. I certainly see your point. However, I see it a little differently. I believe that there are many different kinds of love. The love you have for a spouse or a child or a friend are all different, but love nonetheless. Just because the love is different doesnt mean it is not as intense as another love. For me, I have never felt this way about anyone other than my Master. The dynamic we have and the experience we have shared over many years has lead me to feel this way. It is a product of what we have created together. Therefore that is what I see as my slaves heart. I acknowledge that people can feel that way about a child ( or any other relationship) however that doesnt apply to me. Perhaps one day, when I have a child, I may change my perspective. Then again, I am not sure that would make me see my slaves heart as different, but I would then be able to understand the love of a mother as well. I dont think that understanding would change my understanding of my slaveheart. I would see them as two seperate things that have the same emotion behind them, but the love itself would be expressed differently. The role of a slave and that of a mother are different and the love is expressed differently, with some commonality, and it all comes from the heart. I believe it more about the way the love is expressed more than the love or the way the emotion makes you feel. Thank you for your feedback. I always respect your opinion and usually find that I think a great deal like you. I always appreciate a different perspective, Maggi
