There is an undeniable rush when someone is kneeling before you. A steady flow of begging, pleading, beseeching tumbling from their lips. Great, big, imploring eyes looking up at you helplessly.
But none of this matters if it isn’t real!
I want to see genuine fear, regret and helplessness mixed on that face. I want them to mean it when they beg me, not play act, not pretend, it must be earnest. They need to know that they had better mean every, single, pathetic word if they want to have any hope.
Begging is not a cute manipulation, a coy way of getting what they want. Begging is the final step in the total abasement of self and acceptance of one’s own pitiful helplessness.
