Diogenes always thought about what happiness is, how we
can have it, and tried to explain his thoughts to people. The
branch that he has the biggest hold on in this direction is sci-
ence. According to him, our desires are the negative side that
needs to be controlled, and this control can only be achieved
through science. As soon as a person goes out of his mind,
according to him, he is a sick person. That’s why he always
invites them to become happy people again, with articles of the
importance of moral and philosophical thoughts.
