I would never use a derogatory term to describe anyone who works for a living, busting their ass at whatever kind of work to provide for themselves, their kids, or their family. I know the working class struggles far too well, and how often we are taken advantage of by the leisure classes.
But there are hookers and whores in this world. Lying politicians who sell their office to the highest bidder. Bankers who charge usurious interest to the working class and then seize property when payments are late and their profits are threatened. Doctors who sell out their patients for a $10K kickback from a drug company. Divorce lawyers who foment conflict in order to increase their billing. Defense contractors and arms dealers sucking billions from the public teet.
Yes, there are real hookers and whores in the world. But they charge a lot more than $260 for an hour of kindness and compassion. In fact, they have no kindness or compassion to offer at any price.
Only a great woman could take a man and ease him of his burdens, relieve him of his stress and pressure and anxiety, make him feel admired or appreciated, and bring a small amount of light and joy and comfort to his life. Such a woman should be celebrated for the great gifts she brings to the world, never denigrated.
As the Dalai Lama says - there is no greater work in this world than spreading compassion.
Peace out.
