Choices. Life is about choices. No one understands this more, perhaps, than refugees. Forced from their home by war or injustice, refugees are unwilling immigrants to new lands, new places. New cultures. New customs. And from that point, life is an endless stream of difficult choices. Old world or new? What clothes to wear? What food to eat? What language to speak? What religious practices to keep? What people to be friends with, what freedoms to allow your children, question after question after question after question. They cannot have both old and new in everything. There must be choices.
