Greek fires and the Greek reality

For years we hear: Greece the cradle of civilization, the birthplace of democracy and so many other nice big words.

Yes, Greece was all of the above sometime in the past.

Today, there is a new reality here.

A huge number of Greeks never read anything about the people who lived in this land (ancient Greeks, renaissance Greeks , etc.).

Very few Greeks know about the history of the land that they live on now.

Today, Greece is a huge garbage dumpster. When you visit, look around you, inside Delphi, ancient Olympia, etc. you see garbage everywhere.

A society of mindless wanderers who have no connection to what was there before.

A society that imprisoned her bravest fighter (Kolokotronis) against the Ottoman Empire.
The same minds govern the country today.

Land developers who burn the forest because they know that people have very short memory and in a few years they will develop the burned forest with the blessings of the politicians.
The politicians who today scream that the forests will be protected, as they did in the past.
But, they always say : the forest will be protected, they never said , the forest is protected.

We ask the simple question:
Why the land developers are not arrested as arsonists when they build in the burned forest?

The biggest land developers are the politicians that run this place.

The biggest land owner is the Greek Orthodox Church with titles from the Ottoman Sultan (How can, the so claimed fighters against the Ottoman Empire, ended up with so much land and titles from their so called enemy is another story).

Let's all work for a new reality, away from political parties.

Let's all work for a new consciousness, one that respects and loves the land and its all inhabitants (plants, animals, humans, microorganisms, etc.).

We may someday look back and realize the nightmare that we have lived in.

Let's hope it is only a nightmare.
