**Cynicism** is a ancicent greek doctore that decress that the purpose of life is to live is to live a life of virtue, in agreement with Nature.
In this beliv you should reject all your natural desires for accumuilating wealth, power, fame, obtaining possessions, eating at McDonalds, and the desire to hold property. In other words, you should only use the bare nessessities.
Unlike other docturnes though where you hide away from society to achive your goles, in Cynicism you are to act in the public's gaze and to shrug off any insults to your belif. 
This idea requires continus training to heed its ideals for a long pered, it is not just forgetting all your responsabilities and living simply.
There are no official tenents,  but these are the more common principles:
- The goal of life is happiness, and to live with nature
- Happiness depends on being self-sufficent, and mastering your own desires
- Self-sufficiency is achived by living a life of Virtue
- The road to Virtue is to free oneself from the indulgent influences of our world, which are not part of nature. 
- Suffering is caused by false judgments of value which causes negitive emotions and a vicious character.
