You’re confusing terms.
A master makes itself first and foremost. Slavery only appears afterward in relation to others.

Nah not confusing the terms, just painting a different picture.
Brush stroke one: A master must know control but, controlling does not make a master, ability to control does not make a master. A master is enslaved by what they control, that is a master.
Brush stroke two: A master must be enslaved with being a master to be a master.
Does that make more sense when you look at both posts together?
Yes it makes sense to me, but I see that you’re missing a large piece of the picture… ![]()
We’ll have to reconcile it another time.
hmm, A master that does not practice what they are a master of is no longer a master. To be a master they must be enslaved by what they master. The ability and the control mean nothing unless they are used.
If a master only controls within their mind then they lose their mastery. You maybe master of yourself but if you only think and not practice then you lose your mastery over yourself.
You lose control.
A master blacksmith is still a master even while not in practice…
The knowledge of being a master is retained–there is no loss of control.

That only applies for a short period. The smith will lose control over a knowledge if it is not practiced for an extended period. Even if the smith has the knowledge and the ability, the loss of control will be apparent when the smith goes to use that knowledge and ability. The body and the mind must work in concert for a master smith to be a master smith.
If a master manipulator does not practice manipulation over a period of time the whole ability and whole knolwedge to manipulate on a master level is gone.
If a human stops controling others a master level for a long period of time then they will not be able to have that mastery level if they start controling humans again. it would take time to make the ability and knowledge to work in concert. Practice must always be done to keep a master a master.
control takes practice, mastery is total control over knowledge, ability and application.
Yes. ![]()
Back to my original idea
My original post was a response to some of the troubles that occurred following the Champions League Final on Wednesday, the fans of the losing team went on a slight riot etc. a reaction of their passions, but in context a negative reaction but there was a moment towards the end of the game at the height of the excitement when the camera looked into the crowd and it shown the Russian soldiers there all pulling football shirts over their uniform, unfortunately I can’t find a clip but the scene gives me goose-pimples I find it very symbolic especially considering there have been poor relations recently between the UK and Russian governments…damn politics
The ground trembles when the herd stampedes.
