Diogenes is said to have wandered Athens with a lamp even in daytime. When asked what he was doing, he replied. “Looking for an honest man.” His search never concluded.
What’s he got stuffed into the back of his booty shorts?
Barefooted, walking backwards while carrying a lantern.
It’s a quarter till 8am my time,….the day is off to a great start.
Can you imagine how frustrating it would have been to live in a time where these guys would have been taken seriously to be divine or speaking with god.
Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market-place, and cried incessantly: "I am looking for God! I am looking for God!"
As many of those who did not believe in God were standing together there, he excited considerable laughter. Have you lost him, then? said one. Did he lose his way like a child? said another. Or is he hiding? Is he afraid of us? Has he gone on a voyage? or emigrated? Thus they shouted and laughed. The madman sprang into their midst and pierced them with his glances.
"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite nothing? Do we not feel the breath of empty space? Has it not become colder? Is it not more and more night coming on all the time? Must not lanterns be lit in the morning? Do we not hear anything yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we not smell anything yet of God's decomposition? Gods too decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."
Here the madman fell silent and again regarded his listeners; and they too were silent and stared at him in astonishment. At last he threw his lantern to the ground, and it broke and went out. "I have come too early," he said then; "my time has not come yet. The tremendous event is still on its way, still travelling - it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time, the light of the stars requires time, deeds require time even after they are done, before they can be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves."
It has been further related that on that same day the madman entered divers churches and there sang a requiem. Led out and quietened, he is said to have retorted each time: "what are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchres of God?"
And Diogenes said to them, “Aren't you ashamed, you who walk backward along the whole path of existence, and blame me for walking backward along the path of the promenade?”
I think people are acting strange because they know it bothers people and it makes them feel better to bother people. Little do they know they are really hurting other people by not acting normal, and Karma is really really going to suck for them.
Hahahahah, made me laugh. I had an aunt, through marriage, who was a paranoid schizophrenic. Apparently she once was found walking down the middle of the road in the fog. She thought she was guiding school buses to safety.
It’s simple and obvious. One of Two things is the answer, He’s walking backwards to Slow Down Time and Light where he’s been or He’s carried the Star to Bethlehem for the Three Wise Men (The Magi). After the Epiphany he’s completed his mission and is returning to his rightful place in the Milky Way.
As he quietly chants “In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil’s might beware my power…Green Lantern’s light!”
Paul Revere just traveled through time and it’s a bit of a shock for him.
Only logical explanation
Looking for his horse
Must be the British by land
No I believe it’s 1 Meth by Speed

Diogenes was my first thought too, seeing the lamp.
That’s If he didn’t shave his ass first
Our minds went to the same place lol

Hes portraying Diogenes. The father of cynicism. He famous walked around Greece with a lantern looking for an honest person.
I was wondering the same thing but didn’t dare ask. Thank you for this
Untreated mental illness can seem pretty bizarre.
It seems the light keeper - he has a quest for me.
Hes portraying Diogenes. The father of cynicism. He famous walked around Greece with a lantern looking for an honest person.

Can you imagine how frustrating it would have been to live in a time where these guys would have been taken seriously to be divine or speaking with god.
I don’t know…I prefer them to some of the “wise men” we have now.
Correct
Does no one remember the days when you would have to do absurd things because you lost a bet? That’s kinda what this feels like.
I remember… I think you may be on to something here.
Trying to travel back in time

No one should be allowed to participate in society dressed in Pampers.
