Diogenes

[Raper]

Diogenes was an Greek philosopher, who lived 300 years before Christ in Athen. He leaded a very poor life and lifed in an big empty wine-barrel. He was very satisfyed and he said to everyone that he want no more.
Alexander the Great, the mighty armyleader, came to Diogenes on his way to Asia, which he wanted to conquer by his huge army. He did not believe Diogenes that he were satisfyed with his life. Alexander believed that if Diogenes would have a lot of money he would spend a much more better life. Diogenes would make out of his need a virtue. Therefore Alexander wanted to test the sense of life of Dogenes. He declared to Diogenes after greeting him: "Diogenes I shall give you all what you want that you could spend a better life. Please answer me that you agree to that my offer!"
Diogenes answered: "Please go out of the sun."

To those who don't get it, because he was standing in front of him and blocking the sun.

Alexander who is a great leader, instead of being furious, he was amazed by him.

When Diogenes went and became a hobo, he actually started with a wooden bowl, tossing it after he saw a child drinking from a puddle of water in the street.

Diogenes had this principle where he would take as little from the world as possible and return as much as what he has taken when he died.

there was also the time when I think it was Plato said that a man was a featherless bipedal bird, and this upset Diogenes who went to one of his lectures with a chicken with it's feathers all plucked out, showed it to his class and proclaimed "Behold- Plato's man." At least I believe the other philosopher was plato, id have to double check to make sure.
