This one of the most inspirational stories I\’ve heard in a long time. Thanks Dr. Dave for sharing this gem with us. Azim\’s take on life, in my opinion, is the quintessential meaning of transcendence. In western society, heck, in all society, it seems unheard of to reach out to the family who would cause harm to yours, yet he was able to without anger and regret and even form a positive relationship with them. His eagerness to help and remain positive in the face of religious differences speaks words about his ability to look at what\’s important. To have the strength to be able to give back to others after losing such an important component to his family and reach out to others is so inspiring. I can\’t wait to read his book.
