hmm I love the way people think in here everyone has a different point of view. For me the words "submission is a gift" fit rather well. In my way of thinking, I own myself. I belong to me, I am my own property. By gifting my submission to my master I am for all intents and purposes giving myself to my master. OK so there aren't any pretty bows or warping paper but if I give all of myself to my master. All of my good and bad points and the silly little thoughts that run though my head not to mention my body; with out reservation isn't that a gift? If I don't "own" myself anymore I belong to him and he now owns me isn't that the most precious gift I can give some one? Anyway just my thoughts on it
