Sharbat Gula
Bad things are inevitable, whether it happens as a natural disaster in a local area or a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Conflict is a part of the world humans live in. Sharbat Gula, the Afghan girl from the cover of National Geographic, has not only experienced a series of most unfortunate events, but she has learned to see the silver lining. Her cultural environment forced her to conform, but the human spirit is not broken that easily. Humans have the ability to survive and adapt, clinging to hope or bracing for more.
The latter are similar to the Pashtun, who feel at peace when they are at war. As a Pashtun, Sharbat has been exposed to war and fighting since childhood, but she still finds a light in her life: her husband and three daughters.
