Reflection

We are, What we are.

This guy was going along the road when I noticed him and he happily shook hand with me first and then posed for me.
He has chained himself at a time when the superpowers are talking about freedom, liberty and democracy. Man puts on clothe only for comforting and decorating himself.
It is generally said that we wear clothes for others, in a limited sense, to be appreciated and acknowledged. Appearances do counts for being a graceful personality. But appearance may be deceptive sometimes as I have seen some of my colleagues who pay little attention to their dressing but when they express themselves, then, they seem persons with good personality and traits.

The man in the shot seems to me least interested in the worldly affairs and looks happy in natural way of living and roaming about from one place to another.
Living in a society compels you to adopt certain code of life and ethics acceptable to the majority. But sky will not fall if something goes against the will and whim of people. I have often heard from my elders saying that if you do this "what the people will say" and I reply to them that "who the hell people are, I am also among the people".
Perhaps, we ourselves let the people indulge in our matters and lives. We are, what we are after all.
Everybody has an equal right to breathing, living, earnig and doing what he wants to, in this world and freedom and liberty of this beareded man can not be challenged or doubted becasue he has adhered to the bare minimum for the purpose of living.
