Cynic Philosophy

-The goal of life is happiness which is to live in agreement with Nature.
-Happiness depends on being self-sufficient, and a master of mental attitude.
-Self-sufficiency is achieved by living a life of Virtue.
-The road to Virtue is to free oneself from any influence such as wealth, fame, or power, which have no value in Nature.
-Suffering is caused by false judgments of value, which cause negative emotions and a vicious character.
