Corruption seems to be commonplace in any institution of power. It is shameful that such is a constant, but so is human nature.
I have many conflicting feelings. I feel-- unfinished. As if I have already so dishonored the Maker that I must be brought to a completely different universe to learn humility. And then, some days, I think that perhaps it is part of His plan for me. Maybe it was part of His plan all along.
I do miss home. But I am at least glad of friends, old and new, that I have found here.
