虚荣与死亡

the athenian philosopher antisthenes, founder of the school of cynics which advocated a life of simplicity, was said to dress with ostentatious poverty. "i can see your vanity, antisthenes," socrates once observed, "through the holes in your cloak."

socrates philosophised even when he was on the threshold of death. "the hour of departure has arrived," he told plato, "and we go our ways ─ ─ i to die, and you to live. which is better, god only knows."

雅典哲学家安提西尼创立犬儒学派，以俭朴为教。据说，他衣要有意显得贫困。苏格拉底曾经对他说：「安提西尼，在你披风的破洞之下，我看到另一种虚荣。」
