To be a Capitalist we can be a prostitute

There is no such thing as a request, only an offer or an instruction.

An instruction is when we are invited to do something but with the contained and presumed addition that our failure to perform the task will result in some forfeit. We may lose our position of employment, or failure to comply may lead to a punishment of some kind as in taxation.

An offer is clear, it means we are able to refuse with no negative consequences.

A request tends to associate itself with an obligation of some kind; if the request is denied, or refused, the disappointed party, it is supposed, is entitled, for some reason, to feel that they have been slighted. To make a request, and not an offer is to suggest or imply that some obligation is due to the one making the request.

We should not make requests of others, only offers.

If we make a request under the presumption that failure to comply entitles us to think less of the other party, we have made a mistake. No one is obligated to help us, or is in our debt, for any reason. If a refusal does not alter our opinion of the person refusing, then we have made a legitimate request, or we have made an offer, so to speak. In this scenario, the offer to provide assistance has been extended, and perhaps refused, with no ill-feeling as a result.

If we might feel disappointed that we have been refused then we have made a mistake in our thinking, to hope for something (from another person) is a false position.

We can give the opportunity to others to help us and provide assistance.

We can also place a restriction on our cooperation with them, so we might place a price on our labour, as in an employment contract. So, if someone wants to have use of our property, then we have the right to refuse and this is not, should not, result in bad feelings to us from the other party. If we are able to (legally) deny permission to property then we are also able to place a price on altering that declaration. We can make money by letting people have access to our property, as a whore will know.
