The one who thinks loving is against freedom...doesn´t know the real meaning of those words.

@SW-User Many people think that to love is to own the other person, don't you think?
SW-User
@MrSquishy As I said...freedom is much more than "owing"...most times we feel happily "owned", to use your word.

@SW-User Then it is not freedom, but submission.
SW-User
@MrSquishy No. Submission reminds of slavery. My point is, loving is the best feeling human beings have...being free has to do with the mind, the way we live and think, how we act...
There are the right words for everything in life...dominant and submissive have nothing to do with loving. But...tastes are tastes and people will be themselves. Just stating my point, nothing more nothing less.

@SW-User Submission is the correct term, the actual definition of the word is:

submission
səbˈmɪʃ(ə)n/
noun
noun: submission
1.
the action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.

So if in any form or relationship someone submits to another person's will it is detrimental to that person's freedom.

@MrSquishy As you wish milord....you want it that way, be it that way for you.
I was talking in a more philosophical way and of course, as tastes as people in the world.

@MrSquishy Who said I dont know her? I´m on a Literary Workshop but that has nothing to do with my opinions...or anybody´s. Ok? Or shall I say "yes"? Sorry...not the way I am. I dont need people agreeing to my opinions I need them respecting them...someone said he´d die for that. Same would I. That´s FREEDOM.
