Or, as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion... Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist."
True, Emerson was speaking of individuality and self-reliance. However, for a man to admit that he is a Dominant, a Master, in this day and age -- how much more of an individual or a nonconformist could a man possibly be? For that matter, for a woman to admit her submissive tendencies, though she be a strong woman -- that, too, requires much trust in oneself and one's convictions.
Thank-you for the brainfood, Master.
