| I am a white male. Family is upper middle class. I have no reason to
complain. I had privilege. No one looked down on me for anything. I
grew up in a town that had little diversity. I can't complain. I am normal.
Living in a strange land is fun. New things to see, and amazing cultures to participate in and learn from...
but you're always an outsider. Even when you think you understand, you are still different. And you'll never be one of them. Even when your the "normal" one...
Just when that culture decides to understand part of your world, it becomes inconvenient for them. Not as cool as it should be. Whatever. Further alienating you from that world. Alienating the normal one.
But what happens when your an alien in a foreign land and the foreign land rejects you at the same time as the native land rejects you? What do you become then? Are you destined to vagabond? Never really having a place of your own. Because you are "normal."
Perhaps I feel entitled to something. The only thing I am entitled to is death. Sin caused alienation which we all feel. But why does this alienation hurt so much? Our sin sends us to our death; its the only deserved just action. God's grace provides away out, but is it too much to ask for deliverance in the Kingdom which is present and future?
Maybe, I ask for the wrong thing? My entitlement to strong... Who am I that I question the Lord? True, but who is the Lord that won't at least illuminate the reason for my plight... Or am i still asking the wrong question... because I think I'm normal...
