Is it because they shrink your ego? Just curious.

Namasté,

please be patient with me, but I’m having a hard time understanding the goddess Kali. Many Hindus seem to view her as a “person,” as a “mother.” Most of the books on Hinduism that I’ve read are about Krishna, who has a proper “biography”—“birth,” childhood, youth, marriage, family life, “death.” Does Kali have a similar “biography,” or does she rather embody a specific momentary state, such as wrath itself? Does she become a different deity once her anger has subsided? I imagine it might be exhausting to be constantly wrathful when you are limited by being a "person".
