18485 - The persistent Greek

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

The persistent Greek is the one who does not give up, no matter what the situation is, because he knows that his own were heroes who would have never knelt under the challenges and pressures caused by the conquerors. This Greek never wonders whether the glass is half full or half empty, but he simply fills it up on the spot with the determination of the fighter who does not abandon the fight. Because we never abandon one of our own. And if there is a need, we will be sacrificed for him without a second thought, because our lives are our own people.
For this reason Hellenism did not ever give up, whoever the enemy was, however powerful he was. Without having shackles and chains, but only with bonds and strings.
Because the foundation of his thought is freedom and he does not give anyone the right to take hold of it.
Because, he has decided to be either free or dead, without any intermediate solution or compromise.
The continuity of the fight is what’s fueling his militancy.
So he is always ready, due to manners, to give the battle of freedom.
And when he hears about everyday heroes, or any other such nonsense of that sort, coming from the communication knowledgeables, who are trying to convince us that the pretense of an action is just the same as the action itself.
To those, the persistent Greek with his characteristic style says: Go and get fucked.
Because, he can’t bare to listen to irrelevant, social, social class, partisanhip, and political party slogans. He is fairdinkum and straightforward, because he knows, that only through his actions, when he dies, his people will cry out : Worthy!
In between and afterwards, he will not leave anybody oppress his nation, that’s why he is never far from Kolokotronis fire and axe, since he is aware of chronostrategy.
