My dear friends,
Please pray a lot for me.
Right now I’m sick, alone and in a foreign country, but I’m persevering in the hope of finding true friendships soon.
I had the “misfortune” of being a naturally deep thinking person who grew up and lived for many years in a very repressive society. In my childhood, one wrong word could mean death or exile, right now in my country it will probably lead to imprisonment or destruction of property (especially if it comes from the mouth of racial/religious minorities). People living in such societies eventually adapted to this situation by numbing their brains and consciences (i.e by “not thinking too much”, even when gross injustice is happening right at their doorstep).
Due to my ideals, I spent many years in this country as a writer and activist. In my early 20’s, I was strong and idealistic, so loneliness and lack of friendships didn’t bother me very much. Now nearing my 30th birthday and in a much more fragile health condition (the long years of ostracism and working in difficult conditions probably contributed to my physical decline), I have been tormented by a very intense thirst for true friendships: Friends who understand my ideals, thoughts, sorrows and dreams, who are “brave” enough to think with me and talk to me. So far, I’ve been “taken advantage of” by many people who are only interested in temporary pleasures, in my looks, achievements etc. These fake “relationships” merely increased my thirst (and torment) instead of satiating it.
Please pray a lot for me!
In spite of my poor health, I’ll be starting school soon in the hope of satiating this thirst and adding some much needed gladness to my life. Please pray a lot for me! For healing, good health, true friendships, peace and joy.
Thank you
