#diogenes — Public Fediverse posts

"He has the most who is most content with the least." - Diogenes of Sinope (aprox. 412 BC to 323 BC)

Diogenes lived in Athens during the shift toward Hellenism. He rejected social conventions and material wealth, famously living in a ceramic jar to demonstrate true freedom through self-sufficiency.
