Angelina Jolie is a heroine to many people, including me
PEOPLE - There are few public figures who do things themselves, who keep their promises, who act instead of speaking, and who "do what you would think you could not do" as Eleanor Roosevelt said.
Angelina Jolie is a heroine for many people. Me including. There are few public figures who do things themselves, who keep their promises, who act instead of speaking and who "do what you would think you could not do" as Eleanor Roosevelt said. She is courageous, reckless, and demanding. She challenges the world with her way of thinking and her actions. She tells stories that make sense. She does what she says, and does it with her sublime beauty, in an admirable and natural way.
As they say, she is a good girl with "a faulty gene", in her own words.
Her recent revelation, made with eloquence, grace and dignity is remarkable, both in the message it sends and in what it brings to women.
What also struck me was his ability - in a world where every disease, every difficulty, every step and misstep of a public figure is considered worthy of being in the news and feeding the tabloid machine - to do it in private. Surrounded by people she had to trust with one of the most delicate and sensitive issues that exist, she made it protected by the safety net formed by her family, the doctors, nurses and technicians who took care of herself. are held to their first duty: to do no harm.
They respected Angelina Jolie's privacy and thus allowed her to share what she was going through with the public, if she wanted it and when she wanted it. With the separation between church and state, public and private, millions of women like her can listen and watch her now that she is healed. Better than staring at the blurry image of a possibly very puny Jolie after her surgery, in the intimate sanctuary of her medical team.
I add this to the long list of admirable qualities that she already possesses and I only hope that if I ever have to face any illness or ordeal, I will take inspiration from Angelina Jolie, imitating her in her courage. , his quiet strength and his dignity.
