Beyond The Borders

I shed tears for America...

I have come to fall in love with America and what it has given me. God has used this country to shape me in so many ways. The freedom that it has given yet there are still so much bondage of sin that still lingers, and it is somewhat heart breaking.

I am not one for patriotism, because I have immersed myself into a whole different culture from my own and founded myself feeling borderless in my heart. The only true border that I can come to see is the line that crosses into life after death.

America was not great to begin with, the issue of inequality has always been there lurking and to find superiority from one another is something that is toxic and it is somewhat idiotic. There is such a bigger world out there that beckons a recognition beyond the wishful bliss of the perceived America. The danger of America is that when it becomes self sustaining to the point that people are clueless to what is going on around the world, and I don't just mean what they get from the news but rather the culture and widening understanding of the people and situation that is actually going there.

Ignorance comes when there is too much comfort and convenience that shelters us to the point that we lose all over perspectives and become dangerously arrogant.
