The Big Picture In Life
My post today is actually inspired by several recent posts, including Tori in Atlanta, Ciara and Lea of Baltimore. So as I write this on Easter, I think we need to take a minute and look at the big picture, called Life.
Tori posted a blog on April 12 about an escort in Atlanta who had run into some problems and started giving out false referrals. Ciara, what can I say, she is always looking out for her friends. Even when she may not agree, she is a good friend to have. Today Lea posted about "letting go and forgiving."
Tori is right, the escort who gave out false referrals will cause everyone in this profession, escorts and clients to pay a price for her actions.
Today I am posting about the big picture, what is important in life and not worrying about the little stuff. Making a difference in someone's life.
I remember many years ago, long before I even thought about this profession, watching a movie about a lady who was a school teacher by day, and an escort by night. The lady worked with men in all walks of life, all fetishes, until one day she was called to meet a lady who wanted to bring her home for her husband.
The wife and the escort talked about how brave the escort must have been choosing such a high risk profession. When they arrived at the couples home, the husband was dying, he had a terminal disease. The escort told the couple that she was not the brave one, the wife was the brave one for going to great lengths to make sure the husband needs and wants were fulfilled.
This movie always stuck with me. This week I was talking with a guy I know who was told three weeks ago he would not make it and today he is feeling great. He beat the odds. He told me that all the little stuff in life really does not matter when you are in ICU and told you will not make it.
You can make a great impact in ones life, really connect and may never realize how much you touched someone. For example, Mr. Fisher is one who has touched me with his comments more times than he will ever realize. I don't know him personally, never met him, would not know him if he walked up to me tomorrow. But his genuine, sincere comments to me and most of the bloggers here are greatly appreciated.
I know there are many disputes in life, in business and even between escorts. Sometimes they are between two escorts, sometimes between escorts and their clients. Disputes between escorts allow our profession to show signs of weakness. This weakness leads to cracks in our protective shell and eventually allows those who we try to protect ourselves from to penetrate and cause us damage.
For example, if you have two swing clubs down the street from each other. If they can't agree, and call the city or county to tell on the other, they will ultimately bring down government restrictions or worse on both of them. I guess that is where the saying " don't cut off your nose to spite your face" comes from.
So next time you decide to pick a fight with another escort, client, webmaster, etc, talk to each other, don't fight your battle in the media or the courts. The repercussions might be more than we all asked for.
I hope no one takes offense to my post, but I felt this needed to be said. Don't underestimate the power of the web and those who read it.
