Diogenes, the cynical philosopher !
Just came across Diogenes of Sinope
Do you remember him?
The rebelious and cynical philosopher,
who lived in a barrel...
Diogenes walked through Athens in broad daylightcarrying a lighted lamp...
'What on earth are you doing, Diogenes ??'
'I'm looking for a man!
'What on earth are you doing, Diogenes ??'
'I'm looking for a man!
An Honest Man, - The Unknown One!'
And it is also said that:
Once upon a time a wealthy Athenian invited him to visit
his new and very sumptuous house.
Since Diogenes didn't stop making sounds
as if he was about to clean his throat,
the elegant man asked him to please not spit
in his clean and spotless home.
Diogenes, then, spit him right in his face.
