In reply to History is a joke - here's the punchline posted by diogenes on 2024-December-24 22:11:53, Tuesday
...however plausible, ends by sacrificing the virtue of detachment for the seductiveness of sloth. A philosophy that says nothing can be done guarantees nothing will be done.

If there's a remedy when trouble strikes,
What reason is there for dejection?
And if there is no help for it,
What use is there in being glum?

--Shantideva, The Way of the Bodhisattva (8th Century)
