Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

Epictetus and Aurelius are both great and much more serious but I'd suggest Diogenes as he still has the RP rage and might need Diogenes' humor to make him realize that we may be living 2000 years after them but not much has changed in terms of human nature.
I am only halfway through and the amount of times that I have let air out of my noise made it worth the 15$ price tag.
In short OP Diogenes was an intelligent smart-ass who gave ZERO fucks. He was just a fucker walking around in a robe "sometimes", doing stand-up for free.
Some examples;
To a couple who were sacrificing to the Gods in the hopes of having a son, he said. "But you don't sacrifice to ensure what kind of person he'll turn out to be?"
Seeing a spendthrift feasting on olives in a tavern, he said, "If you'd breakfasted in that way, you wouldn't be dining in that way."
Love he said, is the occupation of the unoccupied.

You just think about bad things about having sex, I mean when you are thirsty you only think about fuck someone and that's it But, if you see consequences of doing that it can be easy to control yourself Consequences: STDs, get a girl pregnant, rape accusations, etc. Just think about the bad consequences and try to do other things.
