Cynic epistles

The "Cynic epistles" refers to a collection of letters attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope and other Cynics, although Diogenes himself did not actually write any letters. Rather, these epistles were written by later followers or thinkers influenced by Cynic philosophy. The letters often embody the teachings and principles of Cynicism, emphasizing themes such as self-sufficiency, disdain for societal norms, and a focus on living in accordance with nature.
