Diogenes is always looking for a completely honest person – frequently in the world of politics. It is possible that there is such a person, but it is not likely. However, in looking for this person, we find a lot of politicians and others who are good people, who intend to make the world a better place. There are also some people who are in the business to make a fortune at public expense, and are willing to hurt a lot of people in order to generate a persona gain. Diogenes hopes that those people will develop a painful medical condition, maybe the gout, and decide to spend more time with their families. Or maybe spend some time with other similar individuals, in a prison.
