Who Are You?

Originally written in Bahasa Indonesia.
When ruling Rome, Marcus Aurelius had a servant with an unusual duty.
This servant always stood behind Marcus.
Every time his people praised him or even knelt before him, this servant would whisper a sentence into his ear.
What was it?
"You're just a man. You're just a man."
So often, I become arrogant about what I have achieved.
Feeling superior to others.
Yet, the world keeps turning. At another time, I could find myself in an uncomfortable place.
You're just a man...
