I believe that we have the opportunity here to communicate with and, ultimately, understand the different cultures and societies that make up this world. I love people. I love getting to know people. I believe that we, as people, cannot love that which we do not understand. I want to know about the people in those countries that are torn apart with conflict and oppression. I want these people to know that they are loved and that there are many who are praying for them in their time of such chaos. My question arises from being concerned that my interest in wanting to know/understand/love what-some-might-call our "enemies" might be construed as my not being faithful to my country. We are living in a land of fear right now and I do not want to contribute to this thought. I want to support peace and harmony but I must live within the laws of my country, must always be a patriot of the USA. Are there boundaries here that I should know? Can I reach out in peace to war-torn souls?
