the diamond in the raw

I was reading an article in the Il Corriere about two women, very well regarded architects, who dedicated their career to transforming ugly things into appealing, desirable ones such as parking lots, canes, crutches and neck bone collars. The final comments of the writer was that only women have this amazing capacity of digging beauty out of ugliness, “they must have learnt this practicing on us men.”

Truly every woman has the love life that she wants and when she wants one man she goes and gets it. No matter if others think he’s just a frog that will never become a prince. No extra miles are enough. We have the skill of seeing the prince and pursue him with passion, love, compassion, empathy, tears, laughs, sacrifices, compromises . 

The question is: why?
