This is one of my favorite saying and I think it is very true, it was and still is for me. I am a disaster but thats OK I think because I am learning to Master.Every Master was first a Disaster
I think many have posted some good replies to Tojo with regard to Masters or Mistresses or Dom/Dommes not being perfect, being overally arrogant rather than just self-confident all this is true, but it can also be true for submissives and others.
What I think is perhaps not discussed so much is how to deal with the disaster on both sides of the equation when they occur, secondly I feel to often posted views reflect a unreal utopian political correctness which causes valid discussion and views from being explored of course you can list the ideal characteristics of a Dom or a sub but so what, most people know what they should be in every area of their lives but they are not.
Why shouldn't a person Dom be arrogant? Wouldn't this be better than some other quality "racist" "stupid" "psychopath"
Of course I would avoid arrogant stupid racist psychopathic Doms if your new to BDSM at least for a week or two. LOL
I am rambling (I do that alot) No Doms are not perfect they like everyone else have good traits and bad, how do you develop or assist someone in developing their good traits?
I would love to find a Dom development seminar or book which practically assisted.
