About This Quote

A man is braggart when he boasts in order to impress others. He would fear everyone he did not control. And the next day he would fear those he controlled even more. It means that the person is very impulsive.

He does not have any plan for these things. He is so impulsive that he does not want to get too close to anyone because if they get too close then they will control him or he might send him away by saying nasty things about them.
