RE: A cynical man and his bathtub - Understanding Stoicism: Historical context pt.1

Thanks for the thoughtful post. You made philosophy fun! I think that the social convention of men wearing neckties is really weird. Kind of like a noose around their neck. Some of them are pretty...but really?
I will be following to see what other deep ideas you have to share.

Thanks for the compliment and the reply!

Now I'm imagining Diogenes showing up at a party butt naked wearing nothing but a necktie, shouting "Am I important now too?" :-D

Thanks for the laugh and the mental image! 😊

That's a hilarious image :D

@stillwatersart
nice comment... especially on neck tie
so what do you sugest men wear in place of the neck tie? hope you not asking us to dress like Diogenes! ;)

LOL...not Diogenes. Maybe just a shirt without a tie. Something more relaxed.

ahh...then you have to make a fashion design for us to check out! as a great steemian i trust you are innovative!
what of ladies fashion...i trust there are areas you need adjustments...;)

I think the kravat began as a protective garment layer for the shirt that morphed into a piece of attire treated more delicately than the shirt itself; sort of the tail wagging the dog.
