Diogenes of Sinope
According to legend, his only possession was a clay drinking cup, which he threw away after seeing a child drink from cupped fingers.
According to the same legends, he would carry a lamp around the streets of Athens in broad daylight, claiming to be looking for an honest man.
So who owned the lamp?
Perhaps it belonged to the honest man. He wasn’t making a grand philosophical statement, he was just trying to return the lamp he borrowed all those years ago.
omg he stole it from the honest man
The rain it raineth all around,
Upon the just and unjust fella,
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust stole the just’s umbrella.
