SYNIK

 

Greek Philosophers, 4th Century B.C. - (Syn-ik)

 

"Surrender to any external influence is beneath human dignity."

Several years ago, I broke my neck and separated my shoulder in a skiing accident.
Months after the accident, I woke up one day with a painkiller and a 15-year-old Scotch hangover.

I started thinking about a buddy of mine who had passed away and how he named his company after a Greek god.
Based on how I was feeling that day, I did some research and came across "Synik."

I thought...
"What a name for a clothing company."

I’ve always been skeptical of many areas of government and the establishment.

 

A Wise Synik Once Said:

 

"If I had foreknowledge that a do-gooder was headed my way, I would flee for fear I might have some of their good done to me."

One famous Synik was Diogenes. He would walk around Athens in broad daylight with a lantern.
When people asked what he was doing, he would say:
"I am just looking for an honest man."

Those with above-average awareness tend to develop such views at an early age.
They can distinguish between friends and enemies.

They live their lives in the full glare of the public eye, indifferent to a society that might judge their unconventional behavior.

 

Contrary to Some...

 

🔹 Being a Synik does not mean being offensive or ignorant.
🔹 No argument can beat cold, hard facts.
🔹 Happiness depends on being self-sufficient.

Syniks are not necessarily pessimists.
They don’t blow minor problems out of proportion—because they don’t care in the first place.

"There’s a little Synik in all of us—or at least there should be."
