		<description>The thing we&#039;re weighing right now is whether or not to take some form of action, because of the opportunity presented. A chance, but how to know if it should be taken or missed? there&#039;s a moment in each life that if seized, will change the course of that life forever. A characteristic of this breakthrough moment is that it will seem like your own strength/expertise is being used against you- which is this girl&#039;s case, in my opinion anyways. The ethnic code we&#039;re debating on -should she or shouldn&#039;t she- is talking about the Quality of her relationship with her Self. The point of all this isn&#039;t how to choose between &quot;Right&quot; action and &quot;Wrong&quot; action,or to expose something for the &quot;sake of better good&quot;- the point is determining which path leads you/Her quickest to victory, HER victory- which means her Success of Growth, not the obtaining of moral &quot;fairness&quot;. We can agree then that the goal is to figure out how to MOVE TOWARDS her success, rather than focusing on the dilemma itself (of should she or shouldn&#039;t she- cause that&#039;s the question, not the answer)

With that being said, the facts are: To everything there is a beginning, middle, and end, which is followed by a new beginning. Based on how things look, she&#039;s at a gateway for a new beginning, and from my experience, when you reach a gateway, you&#039;re not supposed to actually DO anything. Sometimes Non-Action is the only form of action you can take to seize an opportunity. When you reach something as big as this, all you can really do is sit yourself down and wait on the will of the universe. We do without doing and everything gets done. There&#039;s not enough light to see clearly so i dont think its a good idea to make any decisions. When the universe puts you in a corner, it&#039;s time to reach within, cause at this point there&#039;s no point in her relying on outside opinions for help. Her predicament is a reflection of her journey, and she does not know what to do because there is nothing to be done just yet- you cannot exert control over what has not yet come to form. 


i apologize if this comes across strangely, i&#039;m having a bit of trouble translating my thoughts on here, but i hope this helps. 

the only thing advice i have for her is to Trust your own Process. Even if it asks you to walk into the dark empty handed- cause sometimes its necessary when there&#039;s nothing you can honestly do. Remember that Timely Retreat is among the skills of a Spiritual Warrior. Non-Action is frustrating but the type of endurance these situations call for most of the time is patience. Look for what&#039;s hidden! it&#039;s the only thing left you need.


How to move towards her growth is the question, to wait and grow is the answer.</description>

		<description>Bottom line is it all boils down to $$$$.  Seems like that&#039;s all people care about these days.  She will have to live with her choices as will everyone else.  I miss the days when people really cared about each other.  Hawk is right...we&#039;re all bankrupt in so many ways.</description>

		<description>Everyone that is commenting that isn&#039;t a sex worker, should really think before they start spewing useless responses.

How/why would she out him anonymously? Do you have any idea what sex work is about? Have you ever worked as a stripper/escort/anything besides &quot;normal&quot; jobs?

Does anyone also consider the fact that she has bills to pay? Remember the part where Hawk mentioned this was one of her FAVORITE clients? Do you know that its a little rare in this business? Marketing is a bitch and you only come across a true keeper once in a while, someone you actually enjoy talking to or being around? Its a fucking rarity.</description>

		<description>I would hope we could use the tone of these comments as a general overview to how most people feel about sex workers and that it&#039;s only a very small percentage of people who don&#039;t think well of them and their trade. After all, there&#039;s only been concern for her safety and well being in all of the possible outcomes. Everyone has been sympathetic to her situation and the processing involved. 

  I have tremendous respect for the discipline sex workers command in their working environment and towards the general public who is unfamiliar with their world. Their stress and frustration is justified as they maneuver the worlds of condemning hypocrisy, ignorance, spirituality, law and politics while trying to work and live their life. 

  I&#039;ve known women in this industry since the early 70&#039;s and I can tell you they seldom get to work with the type of people they would see as their ideal clients. I wouldn&#039;t expect a sweet response to suggesting they give away a date to what they may feel they aren&#039;t getting paid near enough for at work. I wish the general public really knew more of their world.

  At this time she is looking for a way that will serve the best interests all around. The virtue of complete thought lives in time.</description>

		<description>&quot;On the same token, the sex worker took money from him, which she now knows was more or less stolen funds. She has a duty not only to others, but to herself, to somehow make amends.&quot;

Also, on another note, we do not take anyone&#039;s money, they hand it over to us by the fistfuls. We are not thieves or con artists, we are service providers first and foremost.</description>

		<description>i&#039;m gonna shift my stance in light of the great things i&#039;ve read in the last few posts. let sex workers remain in the neutral zone or else one day we may lose the service all together.
trust the infallible laws of kharma to deal with this. the universe doesn&#039;t make mistakes we just fail to understand events in their proper context.
also, i caught myself indulging my hind-brain with longings for retribution and the rush of good drama. and for that, i apologize.
great discussion, though.</description>

		<description>hawk, great points and considerations.  very well said.  

if she decides to let it go completely that is ok too.  she is a sex worker and she is young and going up against this kind of thing could be incredibly unsafe.  it could be lucrative.  it could be traumatic.  it could be a lot of things.  i want her safe.  bottom line.</description>

		<description>auctioning off dates for charity?  are you out of your mind?  you are definitely not a sex worker.  do you know how difficult and intense the word we do is?  she should auction it off for free for a pr campaign!?!?!?!  what the hell are you talking about.  she doesn&#039;t owe anybody shit.  outing him will be hard enough and will clear up any karma she might have accrued, which i don&#039;t think is much.  jesus</description>
