Some would say that being a Master/Mistress (dom/me) is to control a lil one (sub/slave) and in a small way that is true, however, there is much more to it than that.
A Master/Mistress (Dom/me) must be many things at once, a Father/Mother, a Priest/Priestess, a Friend, a Psychiatrist, a Doctor, and a Punisher (to name just a few). They must be all things to their lil ones (sub/slave) so that they may become, in time, a reflection of their training.
Love is the MOST important aspect in every M/s D/s relationship. A Master/Mistress (Dom/me) demands love, respect, and obedience (among other things) from their lil ones (sub/slave).
A Master/Mistress (Dom/me) must demand even higher standards for themselves.
For if they do NOT love their lil one (sub/slave) more than themselves, then how can they expect to maintain the lil ones (subs/slaves) love and trust? For if they expect and demand control of all aspects of anothers life, they must first control themselves. If not, then their desires might out run their commitment that was entered into the placement of their collar upon their lil ones neck.
Their first responsibility is to insure safety, health, and happiness of their lil one (sub/slave). Every demand they make should reflect their love and respect for them, and be yet another step upon their path of becoming.
A Master/Mistress (Dom/me) must also travel their own paths to become what they should be...an Anchor, a Beacon, for before they can lead another, they MUST set their feet firmly upon their own path and always remember that He/She  is responsible for all the aspects of their own life as well.
Their lil ones (subs/slaves) are a precious gift and must be treated as such. If they can not respect the sacred trust between M/s (D/s), then they are not a Master/Mistress (Dom/me).
Discipline is a necessary part of training and the BDSM/Gorean lifestyle, and should be enforced strictly and kept seperately from playtime.
A sub/slave (lil one), is born unto their Master/Mistress (Dom/me), not of the body, but of the heart and soul. The Master/Mistress (Dom/me) responsibility is to recognise that a sub/slave (lil one) is much more than a toy or possession, more than a pet, a lil one (sub/slave) is a prized flower and is a direct reflection of the Master/Mistress (Dom/me) soul and intent. Sow carefully the seed of trust and love, and the rewards of Mastery (and submission) will surpass ALL expectations.
