The Mad Socrates

So why Diogenes the Cynic (dog)? I believe as artists, no matter what form you practice, we are either geniuses acting crazy or we're mad men pretending hiding behind a cloak of genius. Who else but crazy people can walk around functional while dozens of people, even whole worlds of people, echo around in your head all day?

A heckler in the crowd shouted out, "My mind is not made like that, I can't be bothered with philosophy." "Why do you bother to live," Diogenes retorted, "if you can't be bothered to live properly?"

Think about it.
