WHO IS THE REAL WHORE?
From one perspective, someone who sells their skills for hire is no different than a common whore. If we are only motivated by money, greed and materialism then we are behaving as whores, addicts even. One should never sell themselves out for a buck.
The fighting monks of the Shaolin Kung Fu temple used to say that a Shaolin priest would never sell himself for even a handful of rice. That is respect for oneself.
Everyone who isn’t doing their part for the benefit of the world, doing what they are naturally suited for, instead only unconcerned with exploiting that ability or skill for obscene profit in a mad race for materialistic reasons…resembles a prostitute of the worst sort.
A common whore who sells her body for sexual favor sometimes seems more respectable than the celebrities and media moguls of the world who are only interested in furthering their bank accounts and inflating their egos instead of using what they have been given to help make the world a better place.
