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.""
                                                                                             
                                                                                               " Friedrich Nietzsche "
