i don't think i understand punishment

[monocrome]

Monocrome: There was a post earlier about a bell around the neck and not letting it make a sound and it made me think, what happens when/if the bell sounds? What is the point for you and Master if there is no punishment or is it ALL about the task completion. Just curious what happens if you can’t complete what Master has asked of you, do you just discuss it and move on? Curious...

with him, he would use his crop. i see that as a game though, and i guess i see punishment as MUCH more serious... i can't explain how i was thinking about it except to say, i think i was having a semantic problem with the word vs. what people were doing. i suppose that is punishment!! at least in the way a lot of people do it. you are right! thank you, too.
