cOmPrOmIsEd DiCtIoNaRy !!!

I was reading a poem the other day and I loved every bit of it until I read some lines which disappointed me and is the sole reason for this post. I am not sure what the author of that poem wanted to convey but what I misinterpreted was something like :-
"A whore does not have a soul".

Anyways I have read and heard this quite a few times before and it has not made me feel any different anytime. I never did and said anything about it except feeling sad for whom we call "whores". This time I actually went on to search the meaning of this word and it didn't make me feel any better when I came across the following meaning. It was:-



whore- "A person considered as having compromised principles for personal gain".

I was shocked to see such a meaning. I found it too derogatory as I strongly believe that the ones we call whores deserve a better word or a better meaning for this word. Why not meanings like:-

"A person victimised of hatered who deserves to be loved like any body else".
"A person working against his/her will just to make sure his/her children keep breathing".
"A person who is forcefully made to do things which resulted in the death of her soul".


I actually thought that the given meaning for the word whore should actually be the meaning of the word businessman. But when I searched for the meaning of businessman, as expected, this is what they had to say:-

A person engaged in commercial or industrial business, especially an owner or executive.

To HELL with such a meaning. Don't you all think the meaning of the word whore suits the word businessman much better???
In fact the second thought that came to my mind was that as per the meaning given by the dictionary, the major part of the world consist of whores, cuz at some point in our lives most of us have and are compromising our principles just for our personal gains and hence we don't deserve to be called humans but just fucking "whores" (with dictionary meaning).

I wonder how many such meanings need correction in our dictionaries.......

hmm..nice thought!!!have to think about this!! :)

Naveen said...

@ shilpi---Thanx a lot!!
@ pooja---lemme know wat u think finally

Maya said...

i think whore doesnt necessarily mean a person involved with commercial sex, thou its often used in that context... anyone without principles cud be called a whore... and its usage is not limited to prostitutes.. another thing is that, most people are prostitute by choice and are not necessarily forced by circumstances..

@ngel ~ said...

Can I talk more in psychological terms?? - Lets dont talk about those poor souls who really have no other choice than to do such thing and those who choose this way with full awareness... There is one part of those "whores" who become "whore" because perhaps they are unsure of principles set by society... they are struggling in their mind to come out of those set rules but then they end up ruining their life by attaching themselves to "many men" ...
I think I have a lot to say on this , so I will continue in my blog :P
Thank you for giving me a "Starter" !!!

Naveen said...

@Uncommon sense---Lemme me say it ths way. No body wud luv to b a prostitute..wat say?

Naveen said...

@ somyaa--will wait fr tat :-)

Maya said...

@naveen.. most ppl who are prostitute just because they like to be one... and if given a chance a million others are ready to go for it..

Maya said...

@soumya agree with u.. a lot of ppl become a prostitute just because they want to be a rebel

Naveen said...

@uncommon sense--The ones I hv spoken to n the ones I hv heard about didn't want to be in...n I disagree about the millions thng...

Maya said...

naveen.. tht is what every one expects to hear. thts just a plain lie...
there certainly are exceptions but most of them are just exajeration..

tht calls for a post on the topic,, will do it sometime soon

Naveen said...

@ uncommonsense--will see wat u hv to say on tat...But u hv nt done a post on God n religion as yet...or did I miss it?

Maya said...

well i used most of the point in that debate, so i wudnt basically want to repeat it with another atheist post..

Naveen said...

@uncommonsense--Iwrite most fmy blogs straight frm the heart..I actly dont hv much time..But I'll try my best to write up another post on this..n this time from the brains...

@ngel ~ said...

guys I saw lot of discussion on dis... :D n naveen I wrote something very stupid on this (again frm heart or insane mind )but leave dat...
@uncommon sense - I didnt mean exactly the rebellion... but yeah u can say th8 too...
Actually I think , there are many causes for one big thing like dis
like it is easy to tell y one becomes an engineer but it is nt in dis case...
So , guys when u attempt to discuss this topic.. try to come up with as many facets of this problem as u can... cz it is moreover a social , psychological , biological , cultural topic...
tc!:)

Hey i wud lik to share a bit.. D 1's u met were forced bt if they wantd they cud leave. A woman has a power to make a man successful as wel as ruin him. If a woman wants sumthin she'l do it. I'm sure abt tat. A businessman works for his family by nt breakin principles. Some do it themselves n some r dragged. I think d youth shud discuss this. We'l atleast get a solution to it.
