selling ones body is looked down upon though it is in practice since time immemorial. but generally one sells body when in need of money. intellectuals are always ready to sell info and intellect whether or not he is in need. who is better?

The later is better. Selling body for money is for one own self even if an intellectual sells info and intellect it benefits the society.

The later is better. Selling body for money is for one own selfish gain, whatsoever the condition is, but, if an intellectual sells info and intellect it benefits the society.

But when one is not in a position to sell any intellectuals except body, what difference does it makes? To a man with empty stomach food is God, is what MAHATMA said decades ago. For me it is same.

can society endure without preserving self first? does not claiming more than ones needs tantamount to destroying another self?

Dear Tapan,
Tell the Govt that every one should have at least two meals a day and a humble shelter to sleep at night. have? achieved that?
I have seen people vomitting out of excessive drinkink of coastly scotch and eating all sorts of assorted delicacies in poch areas, and near by him an old man with his minor child just with a bare skin covering their bodies begging on the roads. So where is our welfare State with right to live with dignity.
Self perservation and dignity is for those who siphooned off State treasury and not for the poor.So what does the society says to these poor people the children of lesser God? It's just hypocrite nothing else.

Demand for information allows the intelligent to sell their intelligence.Actually what writer meant by selling ones body ? A dead body or living body or part of body or organs of ones body.What ever may be Sale take place only if there is demand.

body means matter,food &c. compared to knowledge, information, intellect. demand for both is and will always remain. the problem is one supplying food &c. has limited resources whereas one supplying info. and intellect has greater treasury at ones disposal and ones rush for gold may in many cases be checked only by oneself and unchecked rush means surfeit of money leading to destruction of one with inadequate resources.
