Whores and Job seekers


Now, if you have never had an opportunity to observe the characteristics and traits of a Whore, or a Job seeker before; you probably wont understand what I am on about, so beware. But again if you had the opportunity to play GTA San Andreas, you will know better. And also don't use your dimwits and make silly implications about me. 


It has occured to me earlier, and again recently, that there are many striking similarities between Whores and Job Seekers. 

What? Dont aggreee with me? OK. I guess I have to take the resposibility to prove my point. Before I fully convince you, which is inevitable, I have to make it clear that I am not writing this in resentment or in retaliation.
















1. Dress code: The whore and the job seeker dress for their clients. They have a dress code which might seem very different, but gimme a chance to tell you why they are very similar. Their attire is specifically meant to attract attention to the right spot. The Clean Pressed Shirts and Double Windsor Knotted ties, Belts-match-boots and all that crap. Similarly the whore has a checklist to follow, heels, the excessive makeup and the undersized clothes etc. They are basically intended to serve the same purpose: Attract attention. Attention of Clients. Employers and Pervs. 

2. The Smile: Smile is part of a clever body language  that the whore and the job seeker have developed. Its meant to make you( Imagine for the for a while that you are the client) feel approachable. To make you welcome them. Its not any smile, now is it? You don't smile like the job seeker or the hooker on a daily basis. If you do, leave me alone. 

3. The Tone: No, not the skin tone you pervs , am talking about the tone in which they talk. Its deceptive. The whore might sound different from the JS (Job Seeker) but understand the hidden intention. They fake it. Surprising I know, but true. The JS wants you to think that it(the JS) is very confident and Honest but thats exactly what its not. The Whore wants you to think that its cute and romantic.....yeah right. See..... deceit is common in both.


4. The Gestures: Very important. Whores and Job seekers use gestures to convey their intentions. The posture, the way they move their hands about and where they rest their hands finally are all well rehearsed. 


And finally the Pitch: This is when they make you want their services. Striking similarities again. They both proudly display their "assets and embellishments", certificates and bodice respectively, and demand your appreciation. If you fall for it, the price negotiations are next and the deal is sealed. 


I know you are going to call me a cynical bastard, and that, its a crooked way of looking at things, but you cant deny one underlying truth. Truth, that both the Whore and the Job seeker are trying to sell themselves. Thats a truth. Don't jump up and say that they are not the same. Selling body or not, weighing these two on a scale of respect and dignity is all rubbish. They are selling themselves, to be exploited by others. 


I know its not the case with all job seeking ordeals, but, it is in most. If you are still convinced that the both  are no way comparable, you are either blind or retarded. But, because its my god given resposibility to enlighten you, I shall try further in my next post.

Whores and Job seekers Contd....

Before I delve any further in to psyche of the job seeker, let me refresh you on, what a job seeker is?, his creation to evolution.

Every child's life, including mine and your's is taken away from us, when we reach the age of three. Usually just when u have started speaking, and learning how to shit properly, not like an animal i.e, about the same time you start grasping the idea that, humans don't bite each other to solve issues, and you are still confused weather, your mum really has the power to summon Terrifying creatures that take you away, if you don't obey her. At such nascent stage when you haven't fully understood what you are and whatever the fuck is going on around you, you loose your rights to your life. By life, I mean your future, your destiny, everything.... even your mind. Your ability to think, dream, understand and even your perceptions are tampered. How so?

You are sent to school.

There we are transformed. No not physically, but mentally. From that moment, our opportunity to remain human and exercise our right to live our lives, is abolished. From then on we are slowly transformed from humans to Horses. Race Horses to be precise. Bridles are put on our heads and we are madly trained to do one thing, and one thing only. Run. They keep telling us how important this race is and the glory in its victory and what not. Yes I am talking about the so called "education".

We are told that, all the nonsensical hardwork, the unwarranted nervous breakdowns during exams, the enforcement of mindless disciplining routines, is to ensure a gratifying and prosperous future and career. They were lying. We endure all this, like the horses endure a pygmy, dressed like a joker, sitting on them and smacking them on the arse and trying to rip its head off. Not in hope of the bright future but because we don't have a choice. Our brains are fucked with, to make us believe that we don't have a choice.

Why should I run the race, I never wanted to. I never enjoy the feeling of my supremacy over others or relished their failure. So what if I wont get a job, or never be able to buy myself a house, and sell myself at a good price over a ceremony called marriage. I would be able to live MY life the way I want to. I am sure thats the case with the Race horse. It wouldn't have chosen an A/C stable over the open pastures. It wouldn't be eating imported grass dipped in Rum for dinner, but end up eating the grass wetted by its own urine a few days ago. So Fuckin what?

If you still don't get, what is it that i am complaining about, lemme peel the banana and show you what to do with it.

I complain because, I have been promised that, if I invest 20 years of my life in this torturous regime called education, and prove my competence, I shall be able to live the rest of my life comfortably, and happily even. This is one BIG lie. In a fair "DEAL", after the end of 20 years, I should be in a position to choose, what kind of work I do, who to work for and so on.

But thats clearly not the case. I have to end up doing what the society and the market demands. And not just that. I even have to kill my interests, passions, and over all, my dignity and end up begging someone to use me. I don't think its any different from what a whore does.

No. I am wrong. A whore is better. Because she is not oblivious to the fact that shes selling herself.
