Social hierarchy can be a bitch. Break the chains and stop giving one fuck about what people think of you. Im not saying being a complete jackass/addict/communist but know no matter what you do some will never like you. Too many people are worried about acceptance and pleasing others. This is part of the reason we are in this mess. Too many people care too much about what others think of them. Only the closest people to you opinions matter

Alexander the Great had heard of his wisdom, and decided to visit him in the Athens market.

Alexander found him napping nude in the sunlight.

He stood directly before him, casting a shadow over him, and said

I am Alexander, and I am King of all you see around you. I have heard much of your wisdom, and Philosophy, and of you want, I shall grant you one favor

Gold, or a court appointment, or banging mad whores, all of those could've been Diogenes'

Hearing as much, Diogenes has but one request

Yes, please, step out of my sunlight. I was trying to nap.

Alexander was so impressed by this, that he responded

If I was not Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes

To which Diogenes responded

If I was not Diogenes, I would also wish to be Diogenes

Oops, you're right. I forgot to mention he was a egomaniac as well.

You really think so?

I always like a person who truly doesn't give a shit about other people's opinions.

Me too. I admire it greatly because as hard as I try I still feel belittled by others. I'm going to go Freudian and blame my mother. On the other hand I really despise people who claim independence from society while they sponge off others who do function in society. They refuse to acknowledge they are still reliant upon the industry of civilization and the kindness shown by others while they in turn show none. It's weak.
