Working Girls...

My life is pretty much governed by a set of principles that i set for myself. And one of them which i hold close to my heart is "Never to look down at others". So i was rather surprised when a guy friend made several unexpected comments about a working girl whom we saw recently when we were out.

The comments got me quite upset, not cause i am in favour of females taking on such roles but more cause of how people degrade them for the job they do. I told my friend that no one had the right to look down at such girls. We are lucky to have a good life but they arent, of all you know she probably comes from a difficult struggling backgroud and she had no much choice but to earn her dough in such a manner.

He wasnt as open to that reasoning and said still she could choose to do something else. Which is true but I feel that sometimes it's not easy for some and for these girls they probably have no much choice.

My thoughts are not always as liberal on certain issues but in this instance i feel it's not right to look down at a person's state especially if she is plagued by poverty. (whether or not she is, i wasnt sure but i gave her the benefit of doubt). You never know when you will end up in a rut and you might end up doing worse things then these girls just to make ends meet. (God forbid it)...
