Random Trains - Surviving Prostitution

1. Convenience is being able to enjoy a certain benefit without having to experience the unpleasant experiences usually associated with that benefit.

2. If you honestly think that the "unpleasant experience" is "the journey" that should be enjoyed, then the benefit is not a convenience but an inconvenience you honestly want to avoid. 

3. Part of the daily business of surviving is using whatever resources we have to provide this convenience to other people in order to maximize your chances of surviving.

4. When you start considering that your body and time are among these resources, people start labeling what you do "prostitution".

5. They do so while making sure their friends think that whatever they label as "prostitution" must be bad, because they are invested in "the journey", and being able to bypass the unpleasant experiences modifies the game in a way they are unable to handle.

6. They don't want you to think that your body and your time are something that you can think about as resources.

7. But your body, and by extension your health, and your time, and by extension your company, is the only things you really have.

8. However, their proposition makes sense. Consider that all other resources are things that don't really belong to you.

9. It makes so much more sense to take something that isn't really yours and give it to someone else in order to give yourself a higher chance of surviving.
