However this chance meet and ensuing hours of completely senseless banter that the two of us indulged in has sort of rejuvinated me for a few months to come. Coming to think of it I really cannot discern a wide array of topics that we discussed, the few that made to our list were definitely not anything that would serve the planet or change the course of any lives!
What I did leave her place with was a sense of a small bird called pride, just because I am associated with someone like her. In a rash action of sounding petulant and fakely polite I must agree to the fact that I completely adore this creature for the sheer guts and grit she has.
To have ideals and beliefs is one thing and standing up for it is quite another thing. To argue is easy, I can totally see myself create a ruckus for something. But making your point in a fashion that would entail walking out o\f the comfortable confines of home is something i cannot even begin to imagine.
When put in a tight situation would I be able to react like her? would I have had the courage to lead a life alone? May be, may be not, I would never know. But then again do i want to?
