He lived a life of absolute poverty. Eating or sleeping in a safe place was a constant struggle. He was considered as a worker, belonging to the laborer caste of the society. He had struggles in accessing safe and well payed jobs and businesses. However, he made many friends. He had only a basic knowledge that summed up to a few oral stories from childhood. He was force of nature, and people saw in their body and beauty the incarnation of a god. He was known to be lazy, barely waking up in the morning.
