Live according to the customs of the country

The advice of the skeptical philosophe.

The point is not to change the world, but to understand it, so as to live as best one can.

You might have thought, in the nature of the case, the skeptic does not understand it.

But that would have been wrong.

The advice of the Epicurean was not much dissimilar.

Live un-noticed.

Cultivate your own garden.

Nor very different from that of the cynic or misanthrope.
