Needing and Using 

I just finished watching a drama, based on Qandeel Baloch's life. Today's episode or should I say the episode I got to watch today stressed me out. I was extremely annoyed and felt helpless. I'm not sure what exactly happened in real life. However, according to the story on television, her brother had borrowed some money from someone. He could not return the money, therefore the cops put him behind the bars. She goes over to request some more time from the cops to help release her brother. Somehow, she ends up letting the cops use her sexually and gets successful in helping her brother come out of jail. This scene was painful to watch. Because the woman or an individual who the media were depicting as a hero of feminism and human race seemed weak to me. She let individuals use her to meet her and her family needs. She definitely had a right to use her body the way she chooses to, but giving in to manipulation, is it really heroic?  I am not sure? What if after the Cops had used her they did not release her brother from the jail.

 I'm so frustrated right now thinking of how some people justify their manipulation. I'm trying to understand how individuals build their lives on needing people or having someone  need them to feel being reinforced. This whole idea of using, needing and not taking responsibility drives me crazy.
