The Wisdom of Diogenes....

Diogenes was a Mystic who said ;" You lose the very life you seek when you wallow in stupid luxuries..You don't need nine-tenths of the things you scramble for..Don't be afraid to have nothing..Don't hesitate to be a nobody..Happiness is not what you have, but who you are..You are already exactly who you need to be...See it!".....................................One day, when Alexander the Great visited Corinth, the masses flocked to hail him..Needing no hero to worship, Diogenes stayed home...Well, said Alexander, noting the absence of the famous teacher, "I suppose I must go to him", The great warrior found the contented philosopher warning himself in the sunlight..Alexander asked the relaxed man, "What can I do for you?".."Just one thing, please," replied Diogenes, "Stand aside, You are blocking my sunlight.".............
