Answer: The passage, ��I remain, O Happiness, of account of you and drink water and eat water cress and sleep on the ground� demonstrates the Cynic concept of self-mastery, which is achieved by living according to nature. This passage displays the Cynic renouncing all other pleasures and material possessions in order to remain in the presence of Happiness; drinking only water, eating water cress, (which is a common plant with edible leaves) and sleeping upon the ground. |
