When he was young, he was a brilliant young man, but he behaved in a licentious manner, going to and from brothels and brothels, and most of his talent was wasted in these lives. Due to the offense of the powerful and the rich, he had no ambition in his life. He often wrote for others, and used writing as a means of transportation.
