Diogenes’ disdain for material possessions is such a powerful lesson. It challenges us to rethink what we truly need for happiness and emphasizes the freedom that comes with living simply.

"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."
Marcus Aurelius

Diogenes’ ability to detach from material possessions and live a life of simplicity is such an important lesson for today’s world, where many of us are consumed by the pursuit of wealth and status. His philosophy reminds us that true happiness comes from within and that the more we let go of external distractions, the freer and more content we become.

Diogenes was the original savage! Who else would march into Plato’s lecture with a plucked chicken? His humor is a reminder that philosophy isn’t just about lofty ideas; it’s about challenging nonsense with wit!

Craziest...??? This perspective would obviously be sourced from our Western cultural and social conditioning based upon egoist attachments, fixations, and agendas. And yet if we choose to engage in a practice of transcending this egoist crap, we just might find ourselves embodying this same life style... A deeper more profound embodiment of "Freedom" which few can comprehend.
Bow-wow.🐾
