I read this story a few days ago:
A friend of Diogenes visited him and found him eating a dinner of lentils.
The friend was a courtier in the court of the king.
He said to Diogenes, "If you would learn to flatter you
would not have to eat lentils." Diogenes replied, "And if you
would learn to eat lentils you would not have to flatter."
I loved it! It still make sense today even if the king would be today's consumerism. Modern times have their own slavery ways, but it is so true that whoever learns to live and be happy with what they have, is free from slavery.
