All philosophers know that there is a limit to human exertion. It is part of their wisdom. They know that the seed has been sown, which only needs time and the nutrients of human social interactions to grow, bloom and ripen which will take sometimes centuries. That is why they all go contented and satisfied to their passing away. That is exactly why Socrates in his prison cell went contentedly to his death. He was condemned for standing against proclaimed principles of the State. His disciple in the next generation Plato founded the Academy, the learning at which institution the noble men of his times could not avoid for fear of losing their covetous place in the marriage market. And when it was the time of Aristotle, he was invited to teach Alexander, the son of King Philip in Macedonia. Within three generations, we see the picture of Socrates' ideas becoming the governing principles of the State. No one can resist an idea whose time has come. Philosophers are patient and can wait centuries for fulfillment of their mission. So not only Diogenes but they all rest easy now in their graves.
