   lol agreed.   
   Master does indeed mean that, etymologically and historically.   
   It means great, superior, divine. It is the same root as mage. It   
   means Lord. It is a heavy as a word can be. I dont want to mess with   
   my unconscious and use such a word. Anyone's unconscious mind will   
   perfectly get its real meaning : that one is a slave when one calls   
   someone else "master", whatever meaning one's conscious mind indulges   
   itself in giving to the word.
