The other day i asked God to show me more perspective about the issue on maids. A few individuals kept promoting that they cannot live without maids and next time when they grow up, they need maids too and so the 'legacy' will be passed on to their kids. On the other hand, there are a few other individuals, who believed that they would get maids, but not rely on them too much and there are those, who wont want a maid at all.

Well, to those who are dependent on maids, they have their own reasons. Probably due to their upbringing, their concepts and their perspective about life. Same goes for those who have another school of thoughts.

Enough about our own feelings and views. What about the maid's feelings? Do they really think the same way as we think they ought to think about their jobs? Or otherwise?

Yesterday, i had a conversation with Nicole's maid. To you, you might think that i'm wasting my time talking to a maid in the first place because you think that they are of a lower class. Well, i'm sorry to said this to you...I dont look down on them. Anyway, back to the topic. I've asked her about her future. What is her plan for her future. Wow. You should have hear what she said. I told her it is very good. I asked her to continue to upgrade her studies, her education. Hey, you might think that she is not good or whatsoever, but in fact, NO! She has got a degree! Do you have one? Anyway, i felt so happy talking to her. Dont ever look down on a maid. They are not of a lower class than you just because they helped to do the housework and you dont. In fact, i would despise you more, especially so if you are just a teenager, waiting to be served, not even paying for her salary. Besides, dont you know that these are the people who contributes to the economy? They are playing a part in the economy.


That was yesterday. How about today? In chinese class...my chinese teacher said something about maids(wow. thank God for these people). She said something about people who become bigheaded when they've got maids to 'serve' them. She also mentioned the over-reliance on maid. I totally agree to it! Looking at all those friends of mine who tries to show off their reliance on maid, i felt sad for them. If they are going to do that for their child in the future, i feel sad for them as well. Probably my chinese teacher is right. So poor thing, for the kid. You may grow up physically, but how about independently? Think about it. Maybe this is why some countries do not like the idea of maids. It is also good because it builds up the bonds between family members.



In conclusion, whatever views that you hold towards maid, really ponder about it. Maids are humans too. Thank God for the union set up to protect maids. They are like us. I dont believe in class consciousness in this case. Just like you work for a firm for wages, to be called to do what your boss expects you to do in your job scope, same goes for the maid. What's the difference?
