Reflection of Him?

 With his permission, of course, sharing our conversation, that I had while messaging with him today:  

Me:  Do you think my behavior is a reflection of you?

Master:  I mold your behavior, and shape it to my will, so in a sense, yes it is. I make you what I want, so yes, but that does not make you just a reflection or a poor image. You can't shape a pug to be a border collie.

Me:  With all this round and round (on Fetlife) I got all mixed up from where I started, and wasn't sure what you thought about it.

Master:   You are already what I wanted, and I only make minor changes. I don't change who you are, but only minor facets of you. I have never made you do something absolutely against your principles or beliefs, to my knowledge.

Me:   So, up to a point, yes, but not in every particular?

Master:   Exactly. Little things. Tweaks.
But if you weren't who you already were, I wouldn't have found you interesting and attractive. I don't want to remake you.
Just make minor adjustments.

Me:    If I started going around in pubic calling people names (who didn't deserve it) you'd rein me in. But that is not really me, anyway, it is hard to imagine. But say I got drunk and started picking up random cups and drinking them, you'd drag me away from it.
Maybe next time not let me get so drunk.

Master:   I have, in fact, done both in the past.

Me:   Because I didn't behave.

Master:    Yes, exactly. But if you got tipsy at a munch, stripped and danced naked, I might let that pass.

Me:   You'd be egging me on!

Master:   I thought you were getting a little too obnoxious in some of your postings on FL, and I found that unattractive, so I limit your snarkiness. I don't want to eliminate it, just limit it to real idiots. Plus, you were agonizing about it too much.
Before, during, and after. So I stepped in. Not everything has to be a fight or a debate. Sometimes the best answer is to ignore.
 
Me:   True. Sometimes I need to step away and take some calming breaths

Master:  The Japanese have a word for this.
 
Me: What is it? 
 
Master:   Mokusatsu

then of course I had to go look that up myself.
