To be a slave

 Something happened to me that really made me think and I thought I'll share it with everyone.  What makes a slave a slave?  Is it giving up everything we are to obey our Masters or Mistresses?  Is being a slave having no limits and doing as ordered no questions asked?  Is being a slave kneeling on the ground and waiting to see what is expected of us?  Like a friend said once a slave is a slave even if he or she has no Master.  Being a slave is more than a title or how we act its our very nature how we feel in our hearts.  Its who we are and what we want to be a choice we make with all our soul.  Its not an easy choice so when someone says your aren't a slave its painful, but remember its an opinion and you know who you are don't worry about being judged by others. The only opinion that matters is your Master and yours and if you are unowned then its what you think that counts.  If a slave has rights or not it doesn't change the fact that she or he is a slave.  Because if one slave serves in a different way than another doesn't make her less of one. A slave serves her Master or Mistress making their life easier and in turn we are cared for and looked after.  Even if you don't have a Master or Mistress it doesn't change who you are because its more than serving its a feeling you have deep within your heart.  I was rather surprised by what I've heard and I had to do some soul searching because yes I am a slave its what my heart tells me I am and nothing will ever change that and I'm sure my fellow slaves feel the same way.
