I am pretty sure I understand what you are talking about here, Sir. This reminds me of the very first discipline that I was given when I had brought dishonor to Master very early in our relationship. I had been asked to keep the fact that he had agreed to be my training Dominant between the two of us until further notice. But my pride got in the way and I went ahead and told someone else in our chatroom because he was quite "the catch" at the time. I knew right away it was wrong and confessed to him that evening. It wasn't pretty. He remained cool and distant from me for a few days while he decided on the right way to discipline me for this indescretion, although making it clear that he was still there for me if I needed him. Needless to say I missed the closeness we had been sharing until then but I kept a wide berth. Knowing how I hate to do any kind of research, this is the task he had me complete.
" Not as much as punishment but as a learning exp.(although punishment should be that also) I want you to do a writing task.
I want you to take 4 different groups and define what was respect, loyalty and honor was to that society. You can use anything from the Seals to the Ancient greeks, but each must be from a different century. Describe how they saw these things, how they seemed to have gotten the definition of them and how each compared to the other. And lastly how they compare, impacted or match your own definition."
That paper took me weeks to research and write, but when it was finished I certainly learned how important they were going to be to our relationship. It is a lesson I never forgot. "Peace" ~blizz~
