If people felt that they weren't paid enough, then we wouldn't have any maids, factory workers and labourers in Laos.
I'm a city person and can get by, but I have friends and relatives in the countryside who are poor and they don't turn to prostitution. There's no toilet cleaning jobs for them out there, but there are other choices for them to earn a living. Some friends come to the city to work as a cleaner, welder and security guard.
No girl in Laos is locked up as a slave and being forced by a pimp to have sex. They can call it quits and return back home if they didn't like what they're doing, but they want to stay. Prostitution is not their dream job, but it's the job they would rather do than the choices of jobs available.
Well said, Admin! If you raise children in a home with high moral standards, no matter how poor that home may be financially, the children are more inclined to reject those things, drugs, prostitution, crime, alternate-lifestyles, etc.
A child's mind can be shaped and molded like clay, but you can not be a hypocrite in any issues you try to impress upon them. If they see you do that on one issue they will reject your teaching on all other issues.
Being poor isn't an excuse to make poor choices in life. Greedy people always fall, sooner or later.
