Im afraid Hellas is in trouble.
Even more so in Danger. Danger comes in may forms. Someone said that your worst enemy is your own self. A general public with no standards. No consumer conscience, no moral standards when it comes to choices of politics, supporting religion(!!!), personal beliefs.
Freemason’s through history have been involved in many turn-points in modern history that helped shape democracy and equality. Many brothers from Europe and Hellas especially, believe that as the world modernized and “businified” Freemason’s closed them selves in the stoic and kept fraternity within its self.
I realize that many believe that what is happening right now in Greece is her own fault. Fair enough. I realize that maybe our society is losing its path when it spends more that it makes just to gloat. But on the other hand it feels like we are under attack. Corruption, oppurtunatism, carelessness, in some points from our own countrymen and politicians. The future is looking dim with many society groups knowing only one way to react. One day strikes which usually end up to violence and in some cases death after being infiltrated almost every time by extremist left wing rioters (who call them selves anarchists) or even “shadow cell’ provocation.
Society is losing its sense of direction. And in my romantic point of view Freemasons should step in and try to aid the lower layers of this society since they are the ones that are more fragile to the current turmoil and events. On the other hand Hellas, a country of 11 million, including a large number of illegal imigrants and refuges has divided in masonic corners in to at least 4 paths plus the Co-ed’s and a few non recognized. Hence corruption, misconception, and misinformed realities even in its self as well. You should understand by now that the greek national sport is fighting with each other. From whom should society be inspired?
In the past many philhellene brothers rised up to support this country and fought and died for it. European and domestic freemasonry played a crucial part in the war of independence in 1821. Where is that spirit today. For too long Greek brothers have been governed by the divide and conquer tactics of unworthy brothers.
I am very aware that due to prejudice and fear of the unknown, Greece is not an easy stage for freemasons to take a stand and share their ideals with society through practice but at the end of the day people just might change their mind about the brotherhood in this country, 2 birds / 1 stone
