 “No labour, according to Diogenes, is good but that which aims at producing courage and strength of soul rather than of body.”

 True wisdom—strength of character and resilience—comes from building the soul, not just the body. 
 この英文を日本語に翻訳すると以下のようになります:

「ディオゲネスによれば、肉体ではなく魂の勇気と強さを生み出すことを目指す労働以外に、良い労働はない。」

要約と解説:

この文は古代ギリシャの哲学者ディオゲネスの思想を表現しています。ディオゲネスは、真に価値ある労働とは何かについて独自の見解を持っていました。

要点:
1. 労働の価値は、その目的によって決まる。
2. 肉体的な成果を目指す労働は、最高の価値を持たない。
3. 魂(精神)の強さや勇気を育む労働こそが最も価値がある。

解説:
この考えは、古代ギリシャの哲学、特にストア派の思想と関連しています。精神的な成長や徳の育成を重視し、物質的な成果よりも内面的な発展を重要視する考え方です。ディオゲネスは、真の幸福や人生の価値は外的な成功ではなく、内面の強さにあると主張しています。

この思想は現代にも通じるものがあり、単なる経済的成功や身体的な成果を超えた、より深い人生の意義を追求することの重要性を示唆しています。

 Diogenes was banished, or he fled, from Sinope over debasement of currency. He was the son of the mintmaster of Sinope, and there is some debate as to whether it was he, his father, or both who had debased the Sinopian currency. 
 What about deadlifts? 
 I agree with this. Labor is necessary to help us discover and achieve our true purpose and passion in life, at least it is for the majority of people.⚒️☀️🌬️🌹🍃✨💋🦁🫂❤️‍🔥

 Disagree, if I understand his wording lol 
 “Stand a little out of my sun.” ~ Diogenes to the Alexander The Great☀️🌬️☁️🌤️✨💋🦁🫂❤️‍🔥

Sun Fact☀️: “The Great Conqueror ~ Alexander the Great came to visit Diogenes. Many statesmen and philosophers also joined in to visit Alexander with their congratulations, souvenirs, offerings.

When Alexander arrived, he found Diogenes lying in the sun.☀️ 

The monarch greeted him with awesome respect and asked if he wanted any special royal favor to be granted, “Yes,” said the eminent philosopher Diogenes to the Alexander, “Stand a little out of my sun.”☀️ 

So struck was Alexander by this reply that he moved out in silence. The emperor admired the sincere hauteur and opulence of the poor man who had nothing but disdain for him and his royal treasures. While walking down with his followers, who were laughing and joking about the philosopher’s reply, Alexander in a profound, proud tone answered to them… 

“But truly, if I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.”

 Interesting 🌞 
 This quote will go over most people’s head including my own because it is entirely subjective. He is not opposed to labor in and of itself just “unfulfilling” labor which is different for everyone.❤️ 
 Nice one Jack!

 Jack, he lived in a jar. 
 🤣 … maybe it’s just a quote - not a value judgment on Diogenes’s beliefs 
 I just thought I’d color in some context for the readers 😉 
 Showing compassion to the body, a temple of the soul, is the highest Dharma. 🙏🤍 
 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". 
 swimming with sharks will do both

 Maybe define labor1st? Then all those subscribe to this need to stay away from labor or expectation of remuneration for that. Enough is enough. 
 Yes always good to hear from the father of cynicism. A good bout of cynicism is healthy for the soul. My favorite of all of his quotes aptly describes one of the reasons for which I'm on Nostr.
