WAKE UP, LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD...

Diogenes of Sinope (c.320 BC) was a Greek philosopher perhaps the best renowned practitioner of the theory of cynicism. He pursued the idea of self-sufficiency; a life that was natural and not dependent upon the nonessential luxuries of civilization. Diogenes believed that virtue was better practiced through ones action’s than by espousing empty rhetoric. He protested most of his life against what he thought of as a corrupt society. He is said to have gone about Athens with a lantern in the daytime, claiming to be looking for an honest man—but never finding one.
