I am a father for four full months now and this period, besides being the happiest in my life, has made me have second thoughts about many things in life. Most important, so far, is how I think about people and treat them.
Before, I used to judge people as my equals, fellow earth-dwellers, contemporaries - just people. I didn't care much about them unless they were close to me, I didn't think too much about the feelings each person has inside. Now that I am a father, I see in every man or woman somebody's child. Everybody wants only the best things for their offspring, and for me my son is currently the centre of all universes. I can't help looking at people through their parents' eyes and this makes me reconsider most of the ways I treat people.
Next time I have to be cruel to somebody I will not be cruel - I will just put myself in their father's shoes.
