It was not a matter of extolling poverty and rejection of the benefits of civilisation, but of self-sufficiency and the pursuit of balance. Of course, a sense of balance arises for different people at different levels of affluence, and for many people it does not arise at all.)

Diogenes also suggested that wives should be shared and everyone should copulate with everyone like animals.

Well, everyone notices something in others that is closest to them. I didn't see Diogenes masturbate and it's none of my business.

Well, why not, if you're relaxing away from the hustle and bustle? The dishes are likely to be dirtier than the water in the mountain stream.)

Anyway, my first post was with the painting and some background info on the main character of the painting. Artwork. Works of art (as long as they are artistic of course) do not aim to offend or teach anyone.
