To the women I objectified and used,

How can I make an amends to you? I don’t know you. I can’t track you down; it would be wrong for me to even try. So I am writing this letter, and I will put the rest into God’s hands.

This public amends is my way of admitting that what I did to you was wrong. My actions turned the most intimate human relationship into a financial transaction for my own selfish pleasure. I corrupted the real and turned it into the unreal. I used you. I viewed you as non-people. I treated you with no respect.

My behavior was wrong. You did not deserve to be treated the way I treated you. You are all precious children of God. You are worthy of respect, dignity, healing, and recovery. You deserve to be treated as human beings with ambitions, emotions, and spiritual needs.

With God’s help, today I will surrender my selfishness and treat all people with the respect and dignity that every child of God deserves.
