    My website’s domain name https://www.arscyni.cc/ is inspired by him and his fellow Cynics. Highly recommend their books written by Robin Hard.

    “On observing how a young man was priding himself on his expensive cloak, he said, “Stop priding yourself on sharing in the good qualities of a sheep.”” ―Diogenes of Sinope (404–323 BC)

    “People pray to the gods for good health, and yet most of them consistently act in such a way as to damage their health.” ―Diogenes of Sinope (404–323 BC)

    To those who also feel remarkably amicable towards Diogenes/Epictetus, or any other Cynic, I’ve made an Ars Cynica chat group on Fluxer [a Discord lookalike, but superior and not corporate]. It used to have active members on Telegram but deleted it because the platform became bloated crypto crap.
