THE OLDEST PROFESSION


Image result for caricatures of prostitute

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT PROSTITUTION IS ONE OF THE OLDEST PROFESSION AND THE BIBLE ATTESTED THAT INDEED IT IS ONE OF THE OLDEST PROFESSION. BUT WHAT MAKES A WOMAN DECIDED TO ENTER INTO SUCH IGNOBLE PROFESSION?

YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE. MAJORITY WILL AGREE THAT THE MAIN REASON WHY WOMEN ENTER INTO THIS PROFESSION IS BECAUSE OF POVERTY.

OTHER GARGANTUAN REASONS SUCH AS BROKEN HEARTED, FAMILY PROBLEMS, MARITAL SEPARATION AND VICTIM OF RAPES ARE ONLY SECONDARY TO THE REASON STATED ABOVE.

IS THERE ANY PRIDE TO THIS KIND OF PROFESSION? ABSOLUTELY NONE AT ALL, HOWEVER, WOMEN IN THIS KIND OF BUSINESS MUST BE TREATED WITH UTMOST RESPECT DESPITE OF THE INDECENCY OF THEIR PROFESSION.

IN MY FEW TRIPS TO CLUBS AND ESTABLISHMENT OFFERING THESE SERVICES I OBSERVED A LOT OF THINGS.

1. WOMEN IN THIS BUSINESS HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS TO EARN:

a) Some of them entertain guest and in return the guest gave them tips. As the guest drink, those who like them offer ladies drink and they have commission per bottle of it.
b) Others categorize themselves as dancers. From this they got their budget or allowances per dance performance.
c) And still some, trade their bodies as precious commodities. But as much as possible this will be their last resort.

2. WOMEN IN THIS NATURE OF BUSINESS NEVER LOST THEIR SELF RESPECT. I saw a lot of them leave their guests when treated with dis-respect and they complained to the management. Some complaint lodged against guest was resolved in the police precinct.

3. ALL OF THEM DREAMED OF A QUIET, PEACEFUL FAMILY OF THEIR OWN. They crossed their fingers that someone out of the blue will be their savior.

4. THOUGH THE SOCIETY CONDENMED THEM AND TREATED THEM AS DIRT BUT ON THE POSITIVE SIDE THEY SERVED AS NEUTRALIZERS. Men basically went to places like this and searches for women like them not because of personal pleasure and gratification but some of them look for something they cannot find in their respective spouses.

THIS PROBLEM IS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF OUR SOCIETY. YES! IT CAN BE CONTROLLED BUT IT CANNOT BE TOTALLY ERADICATED. IT WILL REMAIN THE OLDEST PROFESSION AT ALL TIMES.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.

WHAT HAS BEEN BROKEN IS BROKEN

"Nothing is ever truly broken". That is the philosophy behind the ancient Japanese Arts of Kintsugi, which repairs smashed pottery by using beautiful seams of gold. This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces. I wish that this method of fixing broken teapots either made of glass or ceramic can also be applied in our relationship once it was broken into pieces.
