00:00:31.000 | Once upon a time, the philosopher Diogenes
00:00:34.000 | was eating bread and lentils for supper.
00:00:38.000 | He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus,
00:00:41.000 | who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
00:00:45.000 | Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king,
00:00:52.000 | you would not have to live on lentils."
00:00:55.000 | Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils
00:00:59.000 | and you will not have to be subservient to the king."
00:01:07.000 | Friend, if you will learn to live on lentils
00:01:09.000 | and practice the skill over time,
00:01:12.000 | you can enjoy a lifetime of liberty.
00:01:16.000 | Now personally, I happen to believe that liberty
00:01:19.000 | is something worth enjoying and worth pursuing.
00:01:23.000 | There are many paths to liberty,
00:01:25.000 | but wherever you are, if you have the skill
00:01:29.000 | of living on lentils, read that of course as a metaphor
00:01:34.000 | for being able to live frugally,
00:01:38.000 | you will be able to avoid a lifetime of subservience.
00:01:44.000 | That's a powerful concept because it is within your skill
00:01:48.000 | and within your ability.
00:01:50.000 | These are skills and abilities that you can learn.
00:01:53.000 | This is not something where you have to go and earn $10 million
00:01:57.000 | in order to be financially free.
00:01:59.000 | That may be possible for you, and if so, you should pursue it.
00:02:03.000 | That may not be possible for you.
00:02:06.000 | But it is possible for every person to learn to live on lentils,
00:02:12.000 | so you'll not have to be subservient to the king.
00:02:17.000 | If you will practice this skill and over your lifetime
00:02:21.000 | continually keep yourself free of entangling alliances,
00:02:25.000 | you'll be able to be far more impactful in the world.
00:02:31.000 | If you are a teacher and you possess the skill of living on lentils,
00:02:39.000 | you'll be able to teach as you believe you should.
00:02:44.000 | You'll be able to teach what you believe you should
00:02:47.000 | without fear and concern over your administration
00:02:51.000 | and what they believe that you should or should not do.
00:02:55.000 | If you are a businessman and you are able to live on lentils,
00:03:00.000 | you can serve your customers the way that you believe that you should
00:03:06.000 | without too much regard to the popularity in the marketplace.
00:03:13.000 | If you are a preacher and you will learn to live on lentils,
00:03:17.000 | you can present the pure, unadulterated, unfiltered, unmixed word of God
00:03:22.000 | to your congregation without fear of their response.
00:03:29.000 | If you are a politician, you can speak what you believe to be true
00:03:35.000 | and act out of principle and stand courageously
00:03:39.000 | in a time of moral vacuity.
00:03:44.000 | You'll be unconcerned with the loss of your pension
00:03:48.000 | and the loss of your salary,
00:03:51.000 | and you'll be concerned with what you were sent into office to do
00:03:55.000 | in the first place.
00:03:59.000 | If you're a mother or a father, if you learn to live on lentils,
00:04:05.000 | you'll be able to devote yourself to living in a straightforward, clear manner
00:04:10.000 | as an example to your children, instructing them
00:04:14.000 | in the way they should go without equivocating.

00:04:41.000 | Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils,
00:04:45.000 | and you will not have to be subservient to the king."
