Dear friends ,
The article that will follow was sent to me from a friend. It is taken from a quote by
the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche ( 1844-1900) regarding the
GREEKS.
I would like to share it with you! Here iit is:
"" It is a proven fact that during each period of its development, Western European
civilization has tried to free itself from the Greeks. This effort is filled with deep
dissatisfaction, because whatever they produced, which seemed innovative and
praiseworthy from the outside lost its color and vividmess compared with the Greek
model. It would shrink and look like a cheap copy, a caricature.......
And so, people continue to feel shame and fear towards the GREEKS. Of course,
once in a while, someone comes along who recognizes thruth in its entirety- the
truth that teaches us that he Greeks are in the driver's seat of every new civilization,
and the chariots and the horses of the approaching civilizations are almost always
of a poorer quality than the drivers, who end up competing by leading the chariots
into the abyss, which they surpass with an Achilles-like leap.""
