Legalizing Red Light Business?

Today I heard a topic that I once thought about: should sex work be legal? So the person who raised up the topic related to sex worker said that some of them are university students who just want to earn enough money to support themselves and they would stop doing it after graduation. One quick question popped up to my mind was: is there any alternative jobs they can find? To me, doing other work sounds easier than being a sex worker. They can be a part-time salesperson at any stores, a cashier in marts, or an intern at a proper work place. Using financially supporting themselves as an excuse to be a sex worker just does not sound right to me. However, I do not mean that we should discriminate them or anything. There are people who are forced into this sector as well. My thought would be to help them out of this type of jobs. I don’t mean that discriminating them is right. They are human as well; we should respect them regardless of their career, skin color and social status. But I am totally against the act to protect them and help them staying in this career.

There are a lot of risk for sex workers: sexual transmitted disease, sexual violence and psychological disorder. The people who look for this type of service couldn’t be a gentleman or a nice guy. I imagine most of them are people who do not have proper jobs. Letting this “sector” to grow also contribute to the mindset of viewing women as sex objects. More and more men would think that money can buy time from a woman to satisfy their sexual desire. There might be male sex worker as well. I think the whole idea of legalize this job is eradicating the civilization of human being which is something that sets us apart from the animal. Instead of thinking about sex all day, we could be doing something more useful that contribute to the betterment of the mankind. Sure it is a way to release stress, but it is only one of the other many ways. So people who reply on this to release their stress should look for other alternatives.

All in all, I do not support any movement that contribute to the growing of sex business. People should be working on how to get them out of that sector instead of encouraging or protecting them in the sector.

A Letter to My Lost Phone

To my dear phone, I am sorry that I was not attentive enough which led to you being stolen. I should not have worn that backpack to AEON mall in the first place. I should have checked when I felt someone was touching my backpack at the exit. I should have placed you in a safer place. There were many ways to avoid this incident, yet I was careless enough to lose you. I never thought this would happen to me. You were my comrade for five years. You were the first phone I bought with my own salary. I still remember how excited I was when I first saw you being unboxed. From that day on, we were inseparable. You were with me almost everywhere I went. There were three times my forgetfulness separated or almost separated us. The first one was the trip to Koh Kong province and Chang island in Thailand. I left you at home, but my colleague helped me to get you before the departure. The second time was a DMC school trip to Mondulkiri province. I have packed the charger and earphone, but I forgo...

A Reflection of Reality in Dream

Waking up at twilight of last Sunday, I felt vulnerable and helpless because the dream I just had horrified me. There was not any scary monster or haunting ghosts. I would not be afraid if there is anyway. I remembered the first scene was my fiancé taking me home on his motorbike. It was a dark evening. As we reached the corner to my house, the road was blocked by some authorities and the passengers had to queue to get through some check-up, which was reasonable because of the COVID-19 outbreak. We did not want to queue so we turned left to another route. Suddenly, without any reason, I was running in a rush down the stairs of a balcony at the front of a wooden building with my barefoot. It seemed to be a restaurant as I ran pass tables and tables of foreigners eating and drinking beer. I had to squeeze myself through all the people, since it was crowded. I wanted to go home so badly, as if I was lost in this place for so long. When I reached ground floor, I saw an acquaintance or an o...

New Start

Time flies! As 2020 was gone along with an all-cap COVID-19, it is February of 2021 already. In a blink of an eye, the clock ticks life away. Before I knew it, I have wasted my time mostly in my comfort-zone. Comparing to the old me one year ago, I have not really changed internally, still the old me with limited knowledge. As I was watching YouTube videos (which is what I do when I want to escape from hard work), I came across videos of a few YouTubers who did self-reflection and concluded their year with their accomplished or unaccomplished resolution they set at the beginning of 2020. They also analyzed why they did or did not complete those goals. This is a wake up call for me. I am starting to ask myself about the achievement I have done in the past year. I have a motto printed on my desk that says: “Life begins at the end of the comfort-zone”, and I believe that it is true. Without hard work, we will stay the same while others are facing challenges and grow from those efforts the...
