Lusting Beauty . . . . HONESTLY !


--------------------------------Diogenes


--------------------------------Searches


-----------------------For an Honest Man


"...But you owe me an explanation Diogenes!
Why do you need a lamp!
Because, I'm looking for a man!
But not a man! The one who puts above himself the others!
The Unknown One!
Then Diogenes walked through Athens in broad daylight
carrying a lighted lamp, saying that he was looking for a man!
An Honest Man!"








Read about Diogenes .
