Do you think this man has ever had a boss in his entire life?
No. The only person he fears is God(s).

You fear poverty.

Ultimately, you fear freedom. Me, too. But I hope you appreciate the man who lives in poverty out of choice, spending his days in meditation, charity, or alms-collecting - the beggar.
