We want a strong, determined father who tells us what we can and cannot do. Why? Is it because it’s hard to decide what we can and cannot do, what is moral and right, and what is sin and wrong? Or is it because we always need to hear that we are not guilty and sinful? Is there always a need for a father, or do we only want a father when we are confused, our world is falling apart, and our souls are constricted? – Orhan Pamuk
Letter to My Daughter For a woman, her father is the first and most important man in her life. He is her greatest assurance in meeting the other half of the world. Girls pampered and protected by their fathers are at an advantage in everything in life compared to girls who were not pampered, remained weak, experienced violence, or lost their fathers. The quality of that first man determines how that woman will encounter the concepts of power, strength, love, and trust on Earth. If the father is absent, that encounter either goes wrong or never happens at all. The loss of a father creates a deep wound, and the connection with the other half is severed, the bridge is destroyed. In this sense, I tell my dear daughter: “Whatever you can’t talk about with your mother, you can comfortably tell me, your father, everything. Don’t hesitate to share your burdens with your father with peace of mind. Please don’t forget this, my child.”
