Well... I'm quite awed with her decision. I mean, a person voluntarily working among the poorest of poor slums, isn't something you see everyday.
I think most of us wouldn't want to live in a house made of mud, reeds, plastic sheeting, stitched cloth, cardboard and other discarded materials.
Mother Teresa was constantly exposed to stagnant water, open drains, floods, rubbish, and noise and air pollution.
*sniff sniff* I can't even stand cockroaches...
Of course, it wasn't easy on Mother Teresa either. Despite being in such an environment, she practiced resilience! Thus, becoming an object of respect and admiration for many.
