have you ever given yourself to someone, so completely that you cant think of taking yourself back? have you ever loved so desperately that you must be all they need you to be and everything that they cant even see themselves? have you ever...even thought for just a second of giving everything to another person and of sharing one full soul?
to submit to every whim of another person is, in a way, another form of control. to know that you are not just somewhat useful, but always available to give creates a santuary for the (d)ominant personality. giving up everything, you learn that you truly need nothing in return. what you receive from giving yourself up, is far greater than any tangeble gift that can be given. you learn control, over your emotions, over barriers society has created for you to live in. you learn that giving creates something so much greater than taking ever could. it creates an appreciation for all things given freely. submission brings with it a clarity of mind. it brings into focus the things that are important to human development. sharing, understanding, patience, humility; these are things brought to mind when thinking of giving yourself wholly to another.
so, where then, is the line between (d)omination and submission? both sides are giving what the other wants, the submissive gives in to the needs of their (m)aster. while on the other side, the (m)aster is truly giving the submissive what they want, the ability to control the self. the (d)ominant gives them the push to grow, evolve, such as to be a better person; to become perfection in all states.
