There is a story of a student coming to Siddhattha Gotama,
"are you a prophet or wise man?"
"No," said the Buddha.
"Are you a teacher?"
"No," replied Buddha
"What are you than?" the student exclaimed
The Buddha paused and responded, "I am awake"
- I think the story is an interesting existential piece. It illustrates Buddha's philosophy of detaching ourselves from the egoic concepts we shackle ourselves to. Another Buddhist, Ajahn Brahm, used this philosophy to illustrate that there is no such thing as a murderer, only one who has murdered.

The normal people think that famous people live differently but honestly most of them live just like us, because they are just human too. The only difference is that they are rich, they have body guard, there are a lot of people who is following them specially the media. But the end of the day when they arrive at their home, you'll realize that they are just normal too, just like us, they also get tired.
