Always Have a View

Every person in this lifestyle has certain likes and dislikes. It's unlikely that all of those would ever coincide exactly with somebody elses. If we are lucky we might find someone who has very similar needs and wants, and likes and dislikes.
What I think is importanmt though, is that each person (and this is true for life itself, not just D/s) should always have a view on everything. If someone says "Why don't you like doing that?", it's not really enough to say "Because I don't". We should be able to explain why we dont. Now of course it may be that whatever thing this is we have not actually experienced ourselves, but that does not stop us from thinking about it, examining it, understanding it, and making at least a decision based on what we DO know.
Subs who fall into the clutches of unscrupulous Doms may well fall into this category: they have never actually thought about whether they really want to do something or not, and why. So they go along, and they get hurt, or their expectations are not met.
If they had just taken time to think about things beforehand they may well have been in a stronger position to know they were being duped, or led astray.
So, my point here is that EVERYONE should always have a view on things, whatever they are. We should all develop our own D/s philosophy, so that if challenged we at least have a reason for reacting the way we do.
