Jacob, My Son.
If I raise my voice at you or punish you when you are a child, don't hold a grudge against me because I would just be keeping you in order. I am a very gentle man in reality so everything I do now is just to stop you from taking a destructive path. Remember that I gave you your middle name and it means to be polite. It is very important to me that you don't grow into a rude person with no integrity. I am sitting next to you right now while you are sleeping as a baby. Obviously, I don't punish you now but as you get older I will need to step in and steer you the right way just like all fathers in this world.
Think of me as gravity, gravity puts gentle pressure on you all the time and can be seen as a nuisance but it is essential for your life. Without gravity, your bones would waste away and your muscles would deteriorate and even your heart would become weak.
I am very proud of you and think you have a very bright future.
