Ben Johnson, not my friend, not my anybody, sent me 2 pornographic pictures on Facebook messenger, God knows for what. I thought it would be rude not to reply.

Hi Ben
Thank you for the interest and the photos. But it escapes
my reasoning why a sane man who doesn’t know me at all would send it to me. But
then upon further pondering, I have come to the conclusion that may be you aren’t
sane, which is okay. Mental illness is totally treatable and we have great
hospitals in the country. You should probably enroll yourself in one.
My dear fellow human being, I first thought of reporting you
to Facebook for your terrible idea of an introduction. But then I thought, if I
do that, you would just delete this profile and open another one from which you
would send these pictures to a hundred accounts, all of which, I am assuming
are females you take hours to find on Facebook. Though such tremendous amounts
of attention and efforts for us is flattering let me tell you that this is just
a waste of a wonderful human resource you can be to the world.
Ben, if at all that is your real name, I am sure you are a
wonderful human being. But let me make this clear that these photos aren’t
entertaining me nor are they making me uncomfortable as they used to when I was
a kid. Now, it just makes me feel bad for you. Your life must really suck, for
you have to resort to such cheap measures which are beneath yourself to grab somebody’s
attention. For that, you have my sympathy.
I suggest you take up some serious reading as a hobby since
you have so much time to spare. Might actually knock some sense of purpose into
you.
The world needs you, Ben. Not for your, I am sure great,
collection of erotic pictures. But the protector and visionary you could be if
you put the same amount of concern about my sex education into what you are
actually capable of.
Don’t belittle this letter by labeling it a befitting,
sarcastic reply to your frustration. But I really am concerned, for I feel I
should do my part to stop you from growing into an assaulter from a cyber petty
criminal.
Extremely concerned
and full of hope
Yours truly
Ardhra Prakash
I did not know at this point what would happen once the guy read it. I somehow had a strong feeling the account was non existent as it may have already been reported by someone and taken down. But about 2 hours later, I found this message in my inbox.

I have no idea if this guy means anything at all that he has typed in the letter above. But I'd like to believe so at least. There is enough hate and distrust in the world already. May be I'm being silly but I would like to believe that people make mistakes and sometimes a tiny knock on the head can make people want to correct themselves. The world sure seems to be a bad place to be in right now. But without faith and hope, there is nowhere to go. I'd like to keep my faith in humanity and hope that today somebody has realized that he is above what he portrayed himself as initially.

"Thanks for being brave enough to apologize, Ben. You sound like a good guy. Good to know you read. Wishes for your future."
