According to a story often told to illustrate the views of Socrates or Pythagoras, there are three main types of people at the Olympic Games (or life in general), categorized by their motivations: those who compete for fame, those who trade for profit, and the philosophers who come to observe and understand the truth. [1, 2] 

• Lovers of Gain/  Trade (The Merchants): Those who come to the fair for commerce, profit, and to buy and sell.

• Lovers of Honor (The Athletes): Those who compete in the games to win fame, glory, and accolades. 

• Lovers of Wisdom (The Spectators/ Philosophers): The highest group, who do not seek profit or applause, but attend solely to observe the spectacle and seek knowledge and truth, which corresponds to the philosophical life. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

This analogy distinguishes between a vulgar life focused on gain or fame and the intellectual life focused on contemplation and wisdom.

I know... How Vulgar!
