I never heard him before 7.24.2017.He named Diogenēs .Maybe you also don't know who he is .I have just explored some interesting stories about him.
He is a philosopher,the exact description is a "Cynicism" philosopher.He advocted being alive like a dog.It means less desire and more liberty.I don't understand his thought.But i am interesting? in his stories.
He was ever a nobility and had lots of slaves.Someday he let the slaves gone.They were free.The slave asked him how can you live without us.He answered,if you guys can live without me, I can live without you. Don't worry about me.As a human being,we need courage to face the world.
Someday he was arrest by robber.Then sold as a slave.The host who bought him,ask him what you can do.He said,I wasn't a slave,There is a host in front of you.The man was respect.He asked his son studying with Diogenēs.
Afterwards he came to Athens,High reputation over there,Alexander the great wanted to meet him.But he told ,there was the same distance from here to Macedonia.That means if you really want to talk with me, you can directly to my place.
He felt the weath wasn't necessary.So he determined live in a vat.In that moment,people were busy fighting. Diogenēs hadn't things to do.He put his "house"from west to east of the city.Other people asked him why.He said, you were so busy in war.I think I should look for somenthing to do.
At last,Alexander the great came to Athens.They were meeting in the street.Diogenēs was taking a sunshine shower.Alexander the great? asked him,"what could i do for you ?"Diogenēs answerded,you obstruct me out of the sunshine.
Even I kown seldom about him ,but I really like his lifestyle.Do what you want to do .The attitude of him is excellence.I took him as my friend.I don't care about whether he agreed.
