A profile I came across included, "I believe that a slave has no limits of her own. How can property say what she will or won't do?"
The debate about limits is common enough in the lifestyle, but the way this particular statement was made, a thought sprang to mind.
The physical properties of a material DO limit what can and can't be done with it. Of course, you can do anything you want to a chair, but you risk breaking it if you use it improperly. Same with a person. There ARE limits, and if they aren't respected, there will be a mess on your hands.
I think the thought process goes "But the chair doesn't complain when it's broken."
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with that thought process, mind you, but that's a whole other kettle of fish
