I think that a free person has the ability to manage his time and live consciously. A person notices the signs of the Universe and chooses the most correct moves in various situations. I like the thoughts of the former slave Epictetus. It is not wealth that gives a person the right path - but knowledge of himself and the world around him.

I can't begin to understand what kind of life one can live being a slave and being banished to a foreign land. Perhaps these conditions are what helped Epictetus develop his ideas that all external events are beyond our control and that we are responsible for the consequences of our own actions.
