GREECE'S DEFAULT? Greece has met its destiny

Nothing of what is happening today in Greece was unpredictable.

It is hard to imagine that past and current European officials have ever believed that a nation's character formed over millennia could change over night because of unrealistic ideals, especially if those ideals were fueled by cheap money.

The seed of Greece's default was sown the moment the first statistics were forged, in order for the EU and Eurozone accession criteria to be "met".

After the approval of the referendum by the Parliament in Athens, most of the opinions in the national and international press have derided this decision of Tsipras' government.

Why? Because such a historic decision supposedly exceeds the people's ability to make an educated decision.

But everything that has happened since the fall of the Colonels' regime, amid the alternation in power of political dynasties that have led the country in the name of "national interest", show that, on the contrary, the referendum should not be the exception, but the norm in the leading of a democratic society.

Only then can people feel the taste of their decisions the best and the people responsible for them can be identified.

Only in doing that can the futile search for scapegoats be avoided when there is nothing that can be done anymore.

In Homer's era, Moira was the implacable goddess of fate, before whom even Zeus had to bow.

Since then, millennia have passed, and the evolution of humanity, especially where it is known under the name of "European civilization", has lain under the sign of a line from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar": "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves".

The forced march towards a European Union, in which national identities must be erased, has caused this classic adage to be forgotten.

There are however certain things that can not and should not be forgotten, if we want to avoid the consequences.

Memento Moira Europe!
