She grew up with so little, yet has done so much good. I, on the other hand, grew up in the lap of luxury (we used to call that middle class) and have achieved success as defined by capitalists, robber barons, and, soulless politicians. I'm 60 years old and 'successful' yet in her light I feel like a complete failure. I also worry about her. I hope the Indian boy and she can help bring those nations to some understanding and cooperation. Boy, is she ever a special human being.
