The hope that calms all storms

As Armenian Americans, we are experiencing unprecedented turbulence in our daily lives. In addition to the challenges of raising a family, maintaining our health and finding happiness, we are affected by events tied to our dual identity that are largely beyond our control. As Americans, we are witnessing deep political division as the legislative process grinds into gridlock. 

This is not a healthy reality. We have drifted into another unpopular war, with unclear objectives and an uncertain exit. In a culture where the term “affordability” has become more prominent and younger generations are increasingly shut out of the American dream of homeownership, our quality of life is threatened. Even the concept of war has been redefined, resembling an extension of video game technology, with military operations controlled from command centers.
