The good news is: they don’t recommend to label anybody as “un-Epicurean”. Which supports my theory: everybody is a born Epicurean but many forget about it due to inappropriate education:)

The Bare Necessities


Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

The Bare Necessities
 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Bare Necessities" is a song, written by Terry Gilkyson, 

from the animated 1967 Disney film The Jungle Book 

sung by Phil Harris as Baloo and Bruce Reitherman as Mowgli. 

It was written for an earlier, rejected, draft of the movie, 

and was, as the only song of that version, kept, 

on the request of the Sherman Brothers, 

who wrote the other songs of the film. 

A reprise of the song was sung by Sebastian Cabot as Bagheera and 

Phil Harris as Baloo at the end of the film. 

The song was also sung by Louis Armstrong. 

In 1967, "The Bare Necessities" was nominated for an 

Academy Award for Best Original Song.

What principles, attitudes, behavior patterns, lifestyle would describe an “Epicurean” 2,300 years after Epicurus?

Can we put together a sort of catalog that describes what and “Epicurean”  is in our days?

Do you know a living person whom you would describe as “Epicurean”? Why?

These are the questions I asked on Epicurus’s discussion board today:
