The free man

The man who has no need for validation and does not seek to impress.

The man who is not moved by compliments and is immune to insults.

When he is celebrated, he is not delighted. When he is frowned upon, he is not angry.

He is not stoked by fame, neither is he pricked by obscurity.

He is neither afraid to win nor lose.

He cares not about status, whether he is up or down.

He is like water.

That is a free man.

Life is life
