Dear Son,
I want to tell
you about the identity of a gentleman. Hope you will improve yourself by going through
this letter of mine. It is true that the quality of a man does not depend on
his outward appearance, dress and manner. Generally it is believed that a man
in fine dress is a gentleman. Even he may deserve appreciation for his external
pose and manner.
But the real
thing, in a true sense, is that an attractive figure of fine clothes is not the
symbol of modesty. He may conceal his real character. He may in some respects be
brute and savage inwardly. So, external appearance or figure cannot be a
standard to comprehend or judge a man whether he is gentle or not. A person is regarded
as a gentleman usually if he practises honesty and tolerance.
Fine dress or
ornament may help a person to become gentle but if he lacks in morality, he is not
admired in the society. So, to be truly handsome, a man has to prove himself through
his actions, modesty, honesty, tolerance and sympathy. An evil minded man
cannot be considered handsome in the society. Remember the old saying that all
that glitters is not gold. So, you should not be misled by the outward appearance.
No more today,
Yours ever,
Papa
