The Greek Tragedy

It is indeed sad to see,in our days and in the western world, an entire nation suffer.Are the Greeks these lazy and incompetent people that everyone is promptly and proudly depicting?How is it possible that something like this occurred inside a huge economic mechanism of stability with the name Europe?Nobody knew?
Let's start with the first simple observation that the modern democratic system has a huge flaw.There is no direct democracy.We elect representatives,who in our behalf make the ''right'' choices for the whole nation.So it's our fault if we elect the wicked and corrupted ,the least capable to govern and decide on our behalf,thus supporting the kakistocracy.We obviously take everything they say for granted but what happens if they lie?If the lie to the nation , presenting an image  that everything is going great but eventually lying also to their economic partners about the state of the economy.The Greek people for example had no means to check on the ability and transparency of the ministry of economy because the government always said that everything is going as planned.On the other hand the European committee and all these ''great'' people that we see these days flying from Brussels,demanding and controlling the state of the Greek and Italian economy should have done their job,that is controlling the validity of the economic stats presented in the previous years from these governments,all along but they did not. Mysteriously no one noticed, and in a matter of weeks we had the fall of all the southern European economy with Greece as its scapegoat.
It is actually funny if you notice that Greece has no heavy industry.It is a nation that from it's remote origins to this day remained true to it's root traditions.Originally Greek religion was based in nature and the expression of the divine in every little aspect of it.Thus Greece chose not to have a heavy industry and apart from it's horrible urban centers remained a naturalistic and ecologic country.It's economy was based in culture, tourism and  well being ,shipping and agriculture.But in the days we all are living in, their is no space for a country like this,living off it's culture and well being,tourism and what genuinely the earth is producing thus this is the age of the ruthless economic capitalism,derivates and technocrats where every soul is a statistic,a potential buyer of mass producing goods,service and money producing machines. Nothing else matters than money and in the altar of greed everything is sacrificed.
So the world has changed but the Greeks remained the same.Is it their fault for the growing debt they inherited?Of course not because they did not ask and certainly they did no receive all this money.So where did it go?
A third of the annual income of Greece went each year to the war industry.Greece is a peace loving country and all of this equipment go to the protection of the southeast part of Europe,from non modern e non western countries. Basically a myth to sustain the foreign war industry thus Greece has non of it's own, but most importantly imports all this war equipment as a mean for protection of it's national sovereignty in the Greek region.A fourth goes to the oil industry as Greece imports all of it's oil and natural resources.Does Greece lacks it's own natural resources?Of course not,Greece is very rich in oil,natural gas,gold,uranium and other precious metals.It is absurdly prohibiten from the international oil industry and not only to Greece to use it's own resources.It has to buy theirs.An other fourth went usually missing from the kakistocracy,where being a politician became a profitable business and what was left went to the Greek people as salaries and pensions,one of the lowest in not the lowest in the whole Euro-zone.
This truly a strange world we are living in, where everyone is your friend and ally but what really matters is money.The Greeks are now living a nightmare.The international system put the Greek economy to it's knees and we are assisting for almost two years the speculation and destruction of a whole nation,of course for money.Someone invested in Greek bonds,someone else became rich selling oil and guns to a country that does not need it,an other one became rich by executing all this non logic demands,everyone knew and no one cared.Are we so crooked as a global society,are we criminals guided by an economic mafia that we are ready to destroy a whole nation because our investment went bad?Give me my money!
I feel for the Greeks as they have been scammed.The greater disaster would be in they decide to leave from the Eurogroup,because Greeks are righteous but also reluctant to change.The world has changed so the Greeks must change also.I would love to see a new Greece,with a modern and true democracy because i know that the Greeks did so much and are capable of much more and truly an asset for the European community.
On the other hand just remember that a country so important as Greece,where all western culture and European principles are based cannot stay in an Economic Union that has so much pressure on it as to drive a hole nation to starvation for a crime that did not commit.
I sincerely hope that the Greek political parties understand the importance of Greece's permanence to the Euro-zone but most importantly that the Greeks understand that it is time to change and fight back not by destroying with riots half of the country but by building a solid and prosperous economy,defending their country.
Nevertheless please remember what Greek culture stands for,do not annihilate everything for profit thus certain things have a value that define our existence.Let Greece use it's natural resources,grow without the fear of aggression and invasion ,let it maintain it's significant cultural value and allow it to grow.
In the end a Greek tragedy always starts with an hubris but it ends with catharsis and as a sign of a mature and cultured western society let's just hope that this is the case.
