I share with him the details of a simple, but powerful dream when in spite of grave danger he put his fear aside, acted with pure bravery and became a hero in the eyes of his father and thousands of other people. Unfortunately, my words fell on temperamental ears; Amir was not in the mood for my inspirational storey and snapped, “Well, it’s a dumb dream. Nothing happens in it.”
So the social norm that I broke I thought it was kind of funny. what I did was that I would walk around and taking people’s carts.
