Pride and Dignity!

Που και που μπερμπαντεύω...από διαστροφή πες ,σε ξένα sites και ειδικά σε ξένες εφημερίδες (ναι το κάνω και αυτό) ώσπου έπεσα και στην βρετανική guardian.Είδα ένα άρθρο που μου έκανε εντύπωση ο τίτλος ..."Shame on Europe for betraying Greece".
Έκτοτε το είδα να αναπαράγεται σε πολλά ελληνικά Blogs.μα αυτό που μου έκανε εντύπωση ήταν ένα σχόλιο κάποιου πατριώτη μας ,Arisarvan είναι το nick του που μάλλον το έφτιαξε επι τούτου και που σίγουρα το έκλεψε από το μυαλό μου.
Απλώς το αναπαραγάγω...

Dear Mr Wall

I am Greek, I am 38 years old and I have two little children. I live this hell you are describing (and that so many of your readers/commentators believe is justified, earned, acceptable, required by the EU, capitalism, “free market”, greek over-borrowing etc, etc, etc….). I have paid all my taxes all my life, I have served my country as a soldier for 18 months (all the while paying *myself* for the expenses, without any income; how many of you have done this I wonder…), I have obeyed all its laws, never accepted or given a bribe, I have contributed to the productivity of the country by making products you are even now using/eating.

I am not the only one in this country doing all that. AND I (WE) DO NOT IN ANY WAY DESERVE TO BECOME IMPOVERISHED AND REDUCED TO A FIGURE IN THE STATEMENTS OF SOME BANK OR TRUST. Got it?

This is the first time I ever write a comment to an article I read on the Internet (I have more important things to do with my time, including trying to make a living that so many of your readers seem to take for granted, thanks to the god-blessed free market times we are living), but the indignation of reading so many inhuman, cruel comments, stating “scientific”, financial terms, expert opinions, and well conceived banking reasons for starving and driving a people to a bleak future, is choking me. I do not make riots, I do not burn buildings, I just write a small comment. Maybe I deserve what is happening to me after all.

I should not be surprised. This is the same people/way of thinking that have driven South America, South Africa, even many millions in the US, the UK, and Russia to their knees and even their deaths. These are the Hitlers and the Stalins of our times (make no mistake). Humanity, solidarity, democracy, fraternity, compassion and many other such VALUES have been extinguished in our times. All that matters now is money. Simple as that.

I hope you enjoy it. It will not give you fulfillment and prosperity, I promise you. I am more happy with the precious few I have, than you with your anxiety for more, and your emptiness of spending. What I do not tolerate (really!) is for goverments, “institutions”, the press and people to be mocking me in my face and telling me that I deserve what I get. Please spare me the lessons…
Thank you Mr Wall for your excellent article.

Respect my man!!!
