None of us live in the world.
We live in our mental picture thereof.
We plan, we act, we choose, according to that picture.
The real world always diverges from our mental picture, but we usually don’t notice much, nor do we need to.
However, sometimes the contrast becomes much starker, and then our world comes crashing down.
The unlucky ones have not experienced it, yet, the lucky ones have experienced it, in manageable amounts.
However, the truly unlucky ones are met with crashes that bear the promise of complete annihilation.
If you were a woman in Afghanistan, you would probably have been acting as if the world was one in which you could belong and in which you could act with agency.
If you were a woman entrepreneur there, you would have been planning towards your future and laying foundations for years to come.
However, the world would not turn out as you had pictured it to be.
We cannot fathom our response, were we in those shoes, nor truly know the extent of the resilience we could demonstrate.
Whatever our struggles, they cannot compare to that level of upheaval.
But in our daily strife, we can hardly falter. The bar is set high.
