“No labour, according to Diogenes, is good but that which aims at producing courage and strength of soul rather than of body.”
we are soul 99% of our existence. earth is only about the body. diogenes must have been an aquarius. to vault that meat sack around with you, you must willingly place it into the fray and be ever-present. to guard the body against all experience is to waste your time in it - it is like sitting on the curb for the whole day at disneyland because "rides are dangerous".
