The two brothers Jeffrey and Clifford Azize travel to three different parts of extreme hopelessness. Starting in the concrete jungle of New York City where they slept in cardboard boxes with the homeless community, the orphaned and disabled children of Peru and the outcast lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa.
They kickoff their life changing journey with the homeless of New York City where they learn that “you don’t need material items to be happy.” Even during the harsh weathered nights they found themselves surrounded by men and women who still have hope in their eyes, one saying “I’m homeless and I’m happy.” They all band together to help, living the Golden Rule they state “life is other people. It’s that simple. If you view the other as a unique component of yourself, it can change things.” This kind of mindset reminds me of idealism, the opposite of materialism.…show more content… I need to survive, I need to get an education, because someone needs me.” After seeing the disabled children of Peru with so much life even living in such pain they begin to realize “that you have a real mission, and an indispensable contribution to make, then you embrace life, you celebrate life in a very meaningful way; in a world where many people are very aimless, they don’t know they are here. So, they do what’s necessary to survive… but there is no underlying passion.
