When I reflect
upon this as a submissive female, I agree.
Generally, it's accepted that most of the
important lessons in life must be learned “the
hard way,” which almost always involves
some sort of pain.
For the female,
pain plays a more significant role. Pain is at the
threshold of many of the milestones in her life.
When her virginity is lost, it is usually
accompanied by pain. Her monthly cycle is usually
less than comfortable, and bearing children can be
extremely painful. Sometimes even intercourse can
be, too, or simply wearing those new high heels
for nothing other than effect. Pain is an
intricate part of what defines a woman and is an
inevitable part her existence, but it is also, as
Aristotle concluded, an excellent teacher. It's a
consequence that sears the senses and brings a
girl's whole consciousness to understanding. As
females and as slaves, it is crucial to our
training that we know pain and even more
importantly, that we know we deserve
pain.
We deserve pain,
not only because we are flawed and often in need
of correction, but also because it simply is the
most efficient and thorough method of penetrating
down to the very core, and reaching the mind,
emotions, and body, all in one blow. Pain speaks
much louder than words...How many words would it
take to express what a slap to the face can say
all on its own? In order for us to be truly broken
and perfectly obedient, we must know the
consequences of disobedience are real.
Considering this, a
slave should be trained and communicated with in a
similar way as a child. A parent doesn't bother
with giving a child a detailed explanation for why
he should or should not do something, the parent
simply gives the rule and if the rule is broken,
the child is punished. The idea is not to convince
the child that the rule is right, instead, the
objective is to establish authority. Slaves
shouldn't be treated any differently. In order for
a Master to truly establish himself as his slave's
authority, it's necessary for her to understand
that his word is law and there is no room for
questioning it; she must simply obey and if she
does not, the end result will be pain—and a lot of
it.
Suffering pain is
humbling and builds trust between a Master and his
slave. A girl who knows she'll receive a beating
and carry visible evidence of it afterwards is not
a girl who will be too proud. Pain reminds us of
our vulnerability and weakness. It's a literal
expression of our place and helps to remind us of
our status as slaves. We live in a culture that
elevates women, and from the time we are young,
we're bombarded with messages that we should be
proud and defiant. Society would have us believe
that we are not equal to men, but superior. Even
though the concept of submission stands in stark
contrast to that of modern feminism, the “I am
woman, hear me roar” mentality has still found
it's way into the hearts and minds of submissive
females. Thus, we see a strain of “submissive”
females trying to reconcile being slaves and being
“powerful” women. How many times have we seen the
proclamations, “submission is a gift” and
“submission makes you strong?” We've come so far
from understanding what it means to be a slave,
but suffering real pain brings us back to that
literal place of humility. In order for trust
between a Male and his female to be complete, a
girl must know her slavery is real and not just a
game. Pain is one of the most sobering and real
sensations a person can feel. When a Master uses
pain to guide his slave, he gives her something
tangible as a guide; she knows then that she can
put her full trust in him because he doesn't just
make empty threats or play kinky bedroom games.
His dominance is real and complete and she is free
to submit fully, knowing she will pay a price for
disobedience.
A female who knows
pain is a content and happy female. She is
pleasing to her Master, she is gracious and kind
to those around her, and she steers away from
pride and jealousy. She is focused on and
committed to the happiness of her Keeper. She is
an ideal female.
We are marked for
pain by virtue of our sex, sisters. We should
accept this and hope for a Master who is wise
enough to know we need it when we fail. We should
seek out a Master who can mold us into the perfect
servants we have the potential to be, and if that
needs physical pain, so be it. Believing that our
place is at our Masters' feet, we should embrace
pain and remember that anything worth believing in
is worth suffering for.
