I Think God has Grown Tired of Me

Watching the documentary on the "Lost Boyz of Sudan" i feel like my life is less influential because of who i am today-a Lost Boy.

i feel like i can identify so much with the Lost Boyz of Sudan because of not being around family or people who understand my culture and yet we all need a place we can call home.

the influence that one human being has on a society is built around the support he/she receives from those around him/her.

War in Sudan led to so many deaths and so many lives have been changed also because of the loss of family members and the loss of a place to call home but the one thing the people of Sudan haven't lost is the sense of who they are because of the value they place on their culture.

I know we can learn from different cultures because no culture is perfect but we can only learn to value those who are different from us if we respect the differences in culture.

That is never easy especially if you have a weak heart.

When you see someone cry would you ask them what is wrong or would you walk on by?

Even though i have been brought up in a different culture i believe at the core of every human being there is the need to be accepted.

Some people might act tough, like they have no need for others but if we really believed we could live all alone then we would try and live on an island by ourselves.

I hope God doesn't grow tired of me because i try to act like i don't need you.
