To sort all the stuff in my mind, I think being "called" to be a master is more of fate. it's not that you don;t have a choice. you're still in control of your life, but you've got something to do, which being your preoccupation, as well as your duty. being a servant is sort of the same thing---fate, yeah, but it's kind of necessary.
I like what akhtene said:

it's Sam who is really the MASTER of his fate as he makes his choice and does what he most want doing, that is accompanying Frodo, helping him, saving him etc. Frodo on the other hand SERVES the world, bearing a tremendous burdain and tremendous responsibility imposed on him by his fate,the Wise and his sense of duty

He sort of deconstructed the roles and the people, which is cool, and really makes sense.
as for me, what would i be? i think i am bound to be a master, but i want to be a servant. when i consider being a servant, i end up dictating orders and things that need to be done. but when i become a master, i become afraid of the responsibility and tend to shy away into the servant's quarters, with added bitterness and frustration.
THe servant always seems to be the safer choice. a few people would like to take the initiative, which is what i admit that i lack.
Here's hoping for more improvement...
