… I can not help but consider that submission is one of the most expensive thing that a person can give to another. All men (meaning male and female) are equal. That is the way we are created, contrary to the false notion held by some that the presense or absence of excessive melanin makes one race more superior than another. All men are equal, and the presence or absence of a male or female genital does not change this fact. Male, female, He made them equal as human being. Equality is the natural state, the created order, it does not mean that people are the same, have the same strength or weaknesses, it does not mean we all have the same material wealth or intellectual capacity, it does not mean we have the same advancement, exposure, forward thinking or ability. It simply means we are all human being and no human being is more of a human being than another, in the same manner that no animal is more animal than another. The essential ingredient that makes one person a human being is present in all equally and this is where the equality stems from. Without doubt some human beings are more gifted than others in some areas or other but it does not lift or elevate their level of human ‘beingness’. It just makes them an equal human being with a few extra bells and whistles. A car is a car, some are luxury cars other are economic cars, while others are somewhere in between. Cars do not become Aeroplanes because of the extra features. In the same manner that humans do not become super human because of less melanin or more testosterone or any other noted reason.
Having established this fact, it is important that each person fully understands and comprehends who they are in relation to another and think not more highly or more lowly of themselves than they ought. This is easier said than done, especially where culture, tradition, religion, compromised history, teachings etc have beaten it into some people that they are either more or less than what they actually are and sadly have come to believe this. We are human and we are equal and that settles the score.
For the orderly running of society and for some other self induced and unsavoury reasons, the issue of submission and that of superiority are introduced and rammed down the throats of the unsuspecting and the naive. To put oneself under to be ordered around is contrary to the natural self asserting manner we are created and born as. Every human is created to be and fully express himself, a lesson that all parents, all husbands, all wives, all employers, all employees, all red necked racist, all inferior minded coloured person, caste preferring, wealthy, aristocate, religious ministers etc ought to know, but the ignorant will not avail himself of knowledge. Irrespective of our individual journey, our ancestral’s journey, our teachings, our beliefs, no man or woman is designed to be submissive!
As fully functioning adults, submission must be a choice, it is also a gift. It is something contrary to who we are and how we are, but we choose to render it. This must not be given nilly willy, without thought or consciousness, this must not be given to any fool or idiot that turns up and demand it, irrespective of the title they bear. Each person is the bearer of the gift and the determinant of who to render it to and let each person purpose in his heart who or where to caste the gift. No man has the right to beat us into submission, this is simply human abuse and abuse stems from a place of weakness, a place of ignorance, a place where we are flawed.
Treasure you gift! Do not caste it before swines! If you are the recipient, be mindful, it is a gift, not an entitlement, loose the sense of deprivation.
