defending blessed mother teresa

i've always been fond of mother teresa. i love her works, her words, and how much she has loved God. a lot of the events of my life has been somewhat linked to her, and i've always been grateful for her intercession. for me, those little events in my life has been a path for big things.

recently, i've been watching videos of my favorite "saint", and i've encountered some very inspirational videos, as well as, to my surprise, hate videos of her as well.

this has led me to this post. i am not a mother teresa expert, but my respect for this blessed person runs deep. i may be biased because i am a catholic and because i hold her in high esteem. but i will always choose (and try) to believe and see the good in every people. she has mentioned that you can't please everybody, and that you can't love the whole word. she was big on small things, on great love put into actions, however insignificant the world may think of them. for one person to give her life entirely to God, to follow Him and forgetting oneself, for always talking about love (and not being selective to whoever she gives it to, for going against the tide and standing up for her principles in life, is a life worth living and looking up to.

in her own words:
The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.
