By the time I finish writing
this article it may have a new name.
But it's coming sometime in the not-too-distant future... Meanwhile,
if you've read Ali's book, Infidel,
and want to talk to me about it,
shoot me a line on my Wordpress.com blog: "Fear--It's So Yesterday"
at mlavoraperry.wordpress.com. If you haven't read the book,
please, please do. -LaVora,

Lessons Ayaan taught me:
1.)
Honor your questions. Ignoring them, suppressing them, denying them--this
is living death.
2.) Don't be afraid to die--whether literally or figuratively.
3.) Honor your parents--even when they have hurt you.
4.) See.
5.) See it all--the good, the bad, the in between.
6.) Be yourself--if you don't, you'll be miserable.
7.) Labels are pointless. Only the truth matters.
8.) Care. And show that you do.
9.) Don't get caught up in worrying about what people think about you.
