Our beautiful π Luok Bor
It’s in our nature to want to watch our human frailties played out on a huge, epic canvas. Ancient societies had anthropomorphic gods: a huge pantheon expanding into centuries of dynastic drama: fathers and sons, star-crossed lovers, warring brothers, martyred heroes. Tales that taught us the danger of hubris and the primacy of humility. It’s the everyday stuff of everyman’s life, but it’s writ large, and we love it.

Keep praying to God for your success no matter how hard life is never give up keep praying π€²πΎππ
Life is filled with challenges and obstacles that we need to tackle with tenacity and grit. While life could be characterized by beauty and splendor, it certainly has its less appealing attributes: In 2021, many of us can express uncertainty about the future: Your neighbor could be having a tough time grappling with loss during the pandemic. Your own optimism might be waning. Challenging times might cause us to spiral when we do not address feelings of doubt and anxiety. If you happen to find yourself dealing with sadness, know that you're not alone!

Dinka Bor history
Dinka Bor are dated back to around 3000 B.C.E. in the Sahara Desert, where hunter-gatherers settled in the largest swamp area in the world, the southern Sudan. Dinka society spread out over the Sudan region in recent centuries, from around 1500 C.E.
The Dinka fought and defended their homeland against the Ottoman Turks in the mid-1800s and dismayed and devastated the violent attempts of slave merchants to convert them to Islam.
The Sudan People's Liberation Army, led by John Garang De Mabior, a Dinka, took up arms against the government in 1983. During the subsequent Civil War, many thousands of Dinka, along with fellow non-Dinka southerners, were massacred by government forces. The Dinka have also engaged in a separate civil war with the Nuer. Otherwise they have lived in harmonious seclusion for the past 5,000 years.
