Men, listen up! This is from a first century philosopher named Epictetus, and could definitely be applied to us today.
In his short lecture entitled The Encheiridion, he taught, 'Immediately after they are fourteen, women are called 'ladies' by men.
'And so, when they see that they have nothing else but only to be the bedfellows of men, they begin to beautify themselves, and put all their hopes in that.
'It is worthwhile for us to take pains, therefore, to make them understand that they are honored for nothing else but only for appearing modest and self-respecting.'
So gentlemen, I suggest we take more time complimenting the ladies that do dress modestly and paying less attention to those that don't dress modestly. That way we can show society that we care more about what's on the inside then what's on the outside.
