20217 - Irreversible movements

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

It is always interesting to make moves at a tactics level, but you have to be aware of what exactly that means at an operational and strategic level, otherwise you might find that you are operating in a context of manipulation.
When something similar exists in strategy and high strategy, then you must think exclusively of the irreversible movements, ie, those which constitute actions that change reality.
As it is thοse which determine the future, as they create a branching with their existence.
For this reason, we must calculate very carefully those irreversible movements and certainly we should not present them to others as movements able to be corrected, as they have been selected following a decision.
Therefore, when they are interpreted as simple movements for communication purposes, that’s not changing their strategic texture, because that’s what it was initially.
On a practical level, when there is an application of this mental scheme, we must be even more careful, because most are not aware of it and can fall into a communication trap. As there is no possibility for correction later on.
In the past, we’ve lived through similar situations, for which we fought for Hellenism’s sake and we’ve managed to overcome the difficulties.
This is what’s ocurring now, where the choice is purely strategic.
When we have at our disposal the Greek EEZ and we waste our time with meaningless arguments which delay everything, and that for appearances sake alone, then we are losing the substance.
It is not possible setting the Greek EEZ in danger, which is the Greece of the future, while pretending that we do not have a future, in order to pay attention only to the present, while what’s of substance is a bridge between the past and the future, which in turn creates the sense of continuity and timelessness.
Hellenism is for continuity and we are not going to play along just so you can say that you are a player. Because in actual fact it’s obvious that you are ignorant and don’t know how to play.
Hellenism is for strategy and not pro gaming.
If we are reliable for so many centuries, it’s because we know of strategy because we invented it to start off with.
