Karen's strength

Appreciate a woman like Karen, strong and brave. There are many kinds of strength, Karen strength is as flexible as a reed, such strength will not be broken. A woman who came to an unfamiliar African grassland, ran a farm, planted a coffee plantation, and ran a school for the children of African Cuban guests. These are amazing, but maybe nothing. The strongest Karen I have ever seen is calmly and calmly facing the fire that devoured all the hard work of her years of business into ashes. There are heartache and disappointment in her eyes, but she never despairs. After losing her property, when she heard the news of the death of her loved one, her eyes were filled with shock, heartbreak and helplessness, but she could still address his funeral gracefully and solemnly: he never belongs to us, never belongs to me. After so much, she has earned the respect of all those who have despised her. In a club where only men were allowed to enter, everyone raised their glasses to greet her. She just smiled faintly and turned around, leaving a gorgeous back.
There is always a ladylike temperament in Karen created by Aunt Mei. The name of the Duchess did not make her a real noble, but the tempering of life made her truly become the queen in everyone's mind. Her queen temperament is completely different from the so-called cool queen temperament that some people call. Her temperament is naturally distributed from the inside out. Make you irresistible, deeply impressed from the bottom of your heart. She is noble and elegant, but such a noble temperament is not brought by power and status, but a kind of personality charm. Therefore, this kind of temperament will not make people feel that she is cold, distant, or difficult to approach. She is a woman of men and a man of women. (Perhaps this is a gender biased and stereotyped understanding) In this legendary woman, there is not only a woman's elegant and beautiful, but also a man's tough and strong.
Her temperament belongs to her, life has portrayed her, not created by herself. Her strength is deeply melted into her blood, so there is no pretense. There is a kind of strength that is actually disguised as strength. People who are extremely strong in the eyes of others may be the most vulnerable, because they cannot accept their vulnerability calmly, so they try their best to cover it up. However, Karen's strength is not the kind of strength that is limited to the surface. Her strength is tempered little by little by fate. It is the indifferent peace and elegance after the baptism of wind and rain, and it is an attitude to life. She has been able to face each other calmly about her fate and her fate. Maybe the words "strong" and "strong" are not suitable for her, they are too tough. Karen's so-called strength is not a stone, but running water.
Suddenly found that fate is just a game, we are just part of it. The real strength is not that we win the game and stand on the top of the mountain smiling, but the ill fate makes us lose everything we have and now , oh, maybe we never had, so we are left with ourselves, but we can still have calm, graceful, peaceful hearts.
