I might not have really known her, but to me, she represented the goodness that one can have, the purity of love . She taught the world to love , and to her, loving meant doing God's will. She could have led a simple middle-class life in India, but she chose to go beneath all wealth and luxury of life to help the other more needy people in the world who has come to look upon her as their saviour, their Mother . Initially I was quite outraged by the fact that her death was so overshadowed by Princess Diana's death. But later, I agreed that there wasn't a need to publicize extensively about Mother Teresa 's death.
Human beings are wierd.
We only start to treasure something only when we lose it, we tend to take everything for granted. She had wanted to leave in her own quiet way, just as she had always been, quiet and humble in all her deeds. To her, she ascribes all credit to only one and that is GOD , who has done great things through her. Her death might not mean the End but perhaps the Beginning of more good things to come.
