A thought for today-

Why do some people hate what is other?  Other ethnicities.  Other religions.  Other likes.  Other dislikes.  Other ideas.  Is it experience?  Is in influence of a loved one?  Or is it that they need to make someone feel lesser for who and what they are?  I know that psychiatrists say that it is because the hater fears what is unknown or other than them.  I don't know if this is true of all, some, or none.  Only the hater could tell us.  I do know that hate is unreasonable.  Like fear, it cannot be reasoned with and logic falls on deaf ears.  Maybe this is why psychiatrists link the two.  Again, I don't know.  I'm just asking the question.  I do know that hate is poisonous.  It colors everything someone does and it spreads to those around them.

I don't have any answers for anyone but myself.

The one thing I do know is that we as people and as a society should not let others hate infect us.  We must steer our own courses and decide for ourselves what we want in our lives.  If it is hate a person wants, then let that be on their heads.

A wise man once said that a person who is out for vengence should dig two graves.  And, vengence is born from hate.  So, I guess I belive that the same can be said about hate.  Two graves.  One for the hater, and one for the thing he/she hates.  Because, people who hate will not tolerate the hated thing to survive.

I guess this is all about today.  Families come together out of love.  They eat, drink, and make merry.  Days like today are not about hate.  I would like to see that idea carried into the new year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Ok, here's some unsolicited advice for some of the people out there who are having issues with people who are not what they first appear to be.

I know we all want to find a perfect match.  But if we did that wouldn't we be dating ourselves?

I've read some profiles from some subs and slaves who have had the Doms and Masters turn out not to be what they represented in their emails.  Some have even moved before they found out that something was wrong.

Now for the advice part.  Try talking to the person who isn't the smooth talker.  Who doesn't have the perfect answer for your question, the perfect dungeon, (in a photo).  We, as human beings, aren't perfect.  We can aspire to be, but will never reach it.  We do keep on trying though, which is a good thing.  So, talk to someone who has some differences from you.  You will both then have something to bring to the table and to teach each other.  You might even find that you like something that they introduced you to.  Besides, isn't it so boring to not have anything to talk about because you both like the same movies, book, etc.

To all.  Be well.  Good luck.

     After some responses I've gotten, I need to clarify something from my profile.
     I state in my profile that I am seeking a relationship.  I am.  A Master/slave relationship.
     That being said, I believe that no matter what there should be emotion involved in any relationship.  With emotions comes caring.  And, a Master should care about His property.
     Just as important, a slave should care about her Master.  Otherwise the slave is just going through the motions.  A slave should care so that she becomes the best slave that she can be, and be of better service to her Master.
     I do want a slave that can be in public and serve discretely.
     If this is anyone's defintion of a girlfriend, then so be it.  But, ultimately, I am seeking a slave to serve Me to the best of her ability.
     Remember, no matter what happens or who W/we are, the outside world will always be there.  There is nothing we can do to escape it.

Be well.

Ok, the thought for the day...
     Why is it that when we dream that we are in danger in our dreams that whatever we are using to try to save ourselves, if fails to function?  The car we are driving has the brakes or steering fail.  The bat we are swinging, breaks.  The gun that we are shooting misfires.  The knife that we are weilding is dull or breaks off at the hilt...
     For once, in my dreams, I would like to be able to save myself instead having to run from something.
     Anyway, is this just me or something?  Let me know.

Be well.

Ok, it's been suggested and requested that I give a little more information about how to spot the scammers that are afflicting those of us that are using online dating sites.  The first thing to know is that most of these scammers are from other countries.  Now, this is not to say that all the people on here from other countries are scammers.  They will say that they are from your country, but that they got stranded in another country due to circumstances beyond their control.  Then they will ask for money to get to you.  They will tell you to send it to them through western union or some other wire service.  They don't want you to buy them a ticket on your end.  They want the money.  Very often an easy way to tell if someone is fake is that they don't have a webcam so that you can see them.  Now, as to some other scams.  I think that there is a reference to these on the mail preferences here.  Watch out for people who tell you that they will send you a money order for you to cash.  They will want you to send the majority of the money back and you get to keep ten percent.  The money orders are fake and you will get arrested.  Also, watch out for the ones that send you a letter telling you that you won a lottery or raffle.  They will ask you to send a finder's fee to hold the winnings for you.
     Ok, just a few last words here.  Let's all work to identify these fakes and get them off our sites.  If you think that someone is trying to scam you, report them to the site administrators.  Yes, I know that this won't completely fix the problem, all they have to do is open another profile, but, the more of them we identify, then the less we will have to worry about them.
     Good luck to all.  I hope you all find who you are looking for.

     I emailed a member here the other day who indicated that she was not looking for perfection.  This brought on a thought about perfection that I expressed back to her.
     In O/our day to day lives, do W/we not seek to perfect O/ourselves?  To be the best that W/we can be.  I've been in this lifestyle for a little over six years and am still learning, practicing, and perfecting My knowledge and skills.  I once read somewhere that to know that you know nothing is the beginning of wisdom.  I know that no matter how much knowledge I accumulate, there is so much more out there to learn.  I will keep learning until the day that I die.
     For those that read this, study, learn, grow.  Enjoy.
