Respect....

Reading my sister's blog reminded me that I had an assignment Master approved for the three of us that I did not do yet. The assignment was to choose a word from a list and tell how it relates to our relationships. I have chosen "Respect."
In any relationship, respect is a major factor, even more so when you are in a polyamorous BDSM relationship. Respect is evident in so many ways. The biggest is respect for Master.
What does this respect for Master mean to me? It means respecting His wishes when doing things. It means respecting Him as a Man and not doing or saying things that make Him seem like less of one. It means following the rules He has set and doing things He asks to the best of my ability. Respecting Master means not talking back to Him or mouthing off, it means not making demands or trying to play mind games with Him. It means listening to His limits and not pushing them, it is His right to push the limits of His girls, not the other way around.
When it comes to my sisters, respect means something else. As Master's girl who has been with Him the longest, it is my responsibility to teach them how to be a slave to Master. To do this, I must respect them as people, as women, and as slaves. It is not taking advantage of them. It means to explore them as people and get to know their minds. It means not making fun of their limits. It means getting along with them and talking to them as equals. It means not acting like I am higher than them just because I met Master first.
The last aspect of respect in my relationships is respect for others. As Master's slave, how I interact with others is a direct reflection on Master, even if the person I am talking to does not know of our lifestyle. If I were disrespectful to someone I was talking to, wouldn't that show poorly on Master? Even if the person does not show me respect, it is my responsibility to show them respect and be the bigger person. That is how Master wants things done and that is how I will do things.
Respect is a big part of my relationships and dealings with others.
