Mother Teresa was so extreme in her devotion to the poor that reading about her made me feel like two cents. I actually wasn't enjoying the book that much for awhile, it was basically: M.T. opens a church. M.T. chooses to sleep in a pile of dirt for two years. M.T. battles the Vatican to get her way. Repeat. But I felt like a beeyotch if I couldn't even READ a book about M.T. Like, she could sleep in a pile of dirt so the least I can do is read about it. In that sense, I suggest that NOBODY PICKS UP THIS BOOK. It is cursed in that way, the second you touch it you will feel guilt to finish it, no matter how torturous it may be. Or maybe that's just me. I wouldn't risk it. The funny thing is, Mother Teresa wasn't even all that religious. I mean, she said she was, and she said she did it all for God. But really this was a book about a woman who was fanatical in her drive to sacrifice everything for the poor. Everything. If she hadn't been brought up Catholic, she would just be some crazy lady sleeping in the dirt touching the untouchables, I swear. (But still being AWESOME. I don't mean to belittle her.) But she really butted heads with the Catholic Church, and I hate to say this, but the things about the Catholic Church she clung to seemed to be just out of convenience. Like abortion. She was totally against abortion. This part puzzled me: The other day, I picked up a bundle from the street. It looked like a bundle of clothes that somebody had left there, but it was a child. Then I looked: legs, hands, everything was crippled. No wonder someone had left it like that. But how can a mother who did that face God/ But one thing I can tell you; the mother -- a poor woman -- left the child like that, but she did not kill the child, and this is something that we have to learn from our women, the love for the child. I guess I just have a hard time seeing how this is a good thing. How every baby born, under every single circumstance, is a blessing. That doesn't seem realistic to me. M.T.'s answer to all this is, "do not abort children. Give them to me. I will care for every single one." And she meant it. But really, Mamma T? Are you nuts? An interesting character entered the scene: Brother Andrew, the co-founder of the Missionary Brothers of Charity, the male branch of M.T.'s organization. He seemed like a cool dude, a bit more down to earth than M.T. I mean, M.T. was down to earth in the sense of like, she didn't take 5 hours to get ready in the morning and didn't insist that her belt matched her shoes. But she was so outrageous it's like in her obsession with being low-maintenance, she was extremely high-maintenance. Brother Andrew actually ended up getting booted -- hate to spoil the surprise -- because he drank too much. But come on... he was doing a TON OF good shit. I say, let him have his party. Interesting character #2: Princess Diana, who died a few days before M.T. and had similar missions. I wonder what M.T. really thought about Di. There's some funky juxtaposition going on there, with those two. But I haven't figured out what it is yet. I'll stop blabbering now. Surely you are totally unmotivated to read the book now. Go get drunk, instead!
