Not only is it a story about love and sacrifice, war and struggle &#8211; it is a journey, from this country to that, from these norms to those, from this family to the generation after, and after that.</p><p>This story makes me wonder where love is in this world. how it surpasses tragedy and inconsistency. It makes me question my relationships with everyone &#8211; how am i sacrificing me &#8211; how is life kicking my ass, and thru the struggle, i am able to capture a glimpse of how beautiful certain perspectives are, certain people are &#8211; certain circumstances; ironies; situations. it humbles me.</p> Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:14:24 GMT http://www.allconsuming.net/entry/view/52262 nobody@allconsuming.net (jiggskc)
