I know Diogenes and Cynicism indirectly influenced Stoicism but this image has nothing to do with it and the principle behind it actually goes against the Cardinal Values and the fundament of living a virtuous life. Please consider this when buying this artwork. (Also it's possible that there was confusion because there is a Diogenes of Babylon who DID practice stoicism. There was also a Diogenes who practiced Epicureanism. I know, it's confusing.)
