“You want to play strong women, but strong women often make mistakes”
— Jessica Chastain
Simplified Meaning:
When people play roles of strong women, it means they want to show a character who is brave, independent, and powerful. However, being strong does not mean being perfect. Even strong women can still make bad decisions or errors, just like anyone else. Think about a top leader in a company, such as a CEO. She might be very capable and lead her team to great success most of the time. Yet, sometimes she might make a wrong business decision, or misjudge a situation. This does not make her any less strong, but it shows that strength includes the ability to learn and grow from mistakes. This idea can be helpful in our lives. If we try to be strong and independent, we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves when we mess up. It’s okay to make mistakes because they are part of learning and becoming better. Instead of letting errors bring us down, we can see them as chances to improve and move forward.
