8776 - The spirit of Kolokotronis

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

If you feel that you live in a prison, while you dwell in your homeland, then you should consider the spirit of Kolokotronis and get ready to act.
And if you are not well aware about the contribution of the Friendly Society , remember that our enemies named it secret, as was demonstrated in Alexander Carathodori’s translations, who had access to the secret services of the Ottoman Empire.
If you hear a lot doing the talking, don’t ever forget that there are only a few who act.
And if our enemies swear against us, saying that we are only a few, we will prove to them that we are rare.
Nobody has the right to oppress you, whoever they are. Nobody can forbid you to live in your homeland in freedom, without paying the price.
Whatever they say, we are a nation of values and not a state with principles.
Whatever you have lived, what is important is that you’ll die. So don’t take the cost into account exlusively, in order to understand the situation. The game is not funny, the game is not simple.
If you find winter very snowy, keep the summer in mind . If you find the crescent very heavy, hold the sun of justice in your hand .
Don’t run like the serviles, fight as a Greek against the enemies of Hellenism, without making any discrimination.
And if some have aspirations regarding the genocide, then remembered that you were not born a victim and that you can resist against those who believe that they are invulnerable, while they are using persuasion, in order to avoid the battle. Don’t just observe the battles, but also see the war in a broader level.
If you find the words of politicians tiring and they are confusing you, grab a history book, because only that will strengthen your resistance. Don’t succumb to pressure even if you don’t see a solution to your finances.
We are preparing the economic solution through the strategic planning around the issue of the EEZ. You should endure even to the words that hurt you, because it is with the thoughts that you will develop something for the others, for us.
The battle may be difficult , but its that, that gives us our value, our revolutionary action. If you’re acompanied by the spirit of Kolokotronis you have nothing to fear because you know about battles.
Just give more importance to the concept of the siege, if you really want to help yourself in the future of our country.
You see, there are options. You can remain apathetic, or become dynamic, depending on what you opt for.
Don’t expect from all of the citizens to be fighters and from all the fighters to be heroes. For centuries on, we overcame worse problems, occupations and wars, it is not a crisis that can diminish us.
Don’t let others handle your morals . Hold strong on to your values in order to overtake the principles, because you only have one homeland.
And as for its enemies, keep them in their proper position and none other, on our land. So let yourself be flooded by the spirit of Kolokotronis in order to finally see the strategy for growth and resistance.
