Dear son,
According to society...you will not be **** but it is my job to teach you how to change perspectives. While it is your mom's responsibility also, it is mostly my duty as your father to educate you on the matters of treating each human with the utmost dignity and respect. I once grew up in an environment whereby I was taught to judge and it caused me to be close-minded. However, I will not encourage the same in you. We live in a society in which women are degraded and it aches me. You should be accepting of each and every one. You should get to know them before you carry on judgment because in doing so, you'll miss out on great opportunities of learning from that person. I once stared into a woman's eyes and I seen the pain and while I wanted to fix it, I couldn't. It was present, it was causing her misery, it was despicable, but I couldn't do anything and that my son should cause you pain as a man. While we advocate for some things, we don't tend to try to comprehend the wonderful figure of a woman as a human being. So in this short message my son, you shall love every and all women. Love them all and not in the way society wants but look deeper into each and every one of their souls and while they may not understand your sympathy, you shall give it. Because in staying true to that, you will find the woman who sees your light and she will walk towards it.                                  
                              
                                                                ­                       Sincerely,
                                                      ­                                 Your mentor
