I was today years old when I learned I am a cynic. I would attribute this to the society which I was programmed to believe, was in fact an illusion. Through my own experiences of endlessly working for many different jobs, giving it my all in many cases, and the facade that working hard and you will go places that they either directly or indirectly program into us from a young age, is in fact not true. From my experience, if you can talk, befriend, socialize and manipulate people or your superiors, you will go far higher than anybody who is actually good at their job. I realized, the human factor, that it's more important that they like you, regardless if it's genuine or not. Is the ultimate factor. Which for a introvert like me, is not going to happen. When every boss or past coworker, you can see through the mask of professional formality, and understand that genuine friendship is as rare as a unicorn, and yeah people are out to benefit themselves, it's the unspoken rule of America. People will always leave you out to dry once your no longer beneficial to them. And nothing irks me more than people who say stop being such a negative person. Is it negative because you don't want to confront the truth that is blatantly in front of us, or because I'm not describing some ignorant illusion of reality so it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I find it somewhat cute, how so many of these philosophy (and psychology) RU-vidrs are in reality talking to themselves, convincing themselves. It's interesting how so many of them quote Marcus Aurelius, himself a perfect example of a fraud. Always worried - and not Stoic at all - he wrote to himself, the meditations - copy-pasted of real Stoics - the RU-vidr of his days.
It's wrong to call him dog when he lives naturally with nature as a human...the only real human in his eyes at the time was the one who could really live as nature intended. We consider him a dog because we as a collective think we are above nature even tho we all come from the same planet.
Diogenes cared about what people thought of him. He wouldn’t be living in the streets if he did. He lived in the streets to manipulate people’s opinion of him. People seeing him live in the streets was the main reason for him living in the streets.
Having a family full of narcissist who are two faced are good promoters of Cynicism. Irony is they don't even realize it because their blind to actions, but open to others opinion.
His actions were immoral. And he was seeking virtue. He knew not the 1st thing of virtue. He was less then an animal. There are other true cynics that lived virtious
1) Stop caring about what others think of you 2) Don’t take life too seriously, live it with humour/Laugh 3) Happiness is always there, we’re just looking at the wrong side

I’m a high school math teacher and when I tell my kids no calculator and use your brain, they get mad at me. One time I took a kid’s phone away because she answered 3 FaceTime calls in 15 minutes and she ran out of class crying. All I did was tell her she can have it back at the end of class. The level of addiction is scary in our teens

I guess I'm like this man, I could care less what others think about me, other people's opinions of me mean nothing to me, anytime you are concerned with what others think of you, you are letting others define whom you are, a very ignorant concept to live by.
