She is ordinary, neither exceptionally bright, nor exceptionally beautiful, except she’s anyone’s sister, anyone’s wife, anyone’s mother. We’re all ordinary and each of us is unique, male and female, struggling to believe in ourselves.
One can learn by doing. One can be forced by circumstances. One can welcome a challenge. One can overcome a fear and feel more free to try something new. One can see, rationally, that giving up can be worse than failure, that you’ll never know unless you try, that if you let others define you you’ll never be happy with yourself.
We are fragile and tenacious, like Arati in Calcutta. We are practical and brave. Pride is informed by stupidity, which takes the guise of tradition, but we can still love each other better.
