They dont stop making me feel guilty about my weakness. My inability to join the Greek reality. To enjoy for example modern Greek songs to watch Greek art cinema to drink coffee frappe to be passionate about sports to be moved by Byzantium to laugh with the Mitsou to consider our race superior to others to hate the Turks to feel betrayed as a Greek and lately nationally humiliated. I even believe that if I were to overcome this weakness I would feel like a fish in water and that my identification with the environment would guarantee me security and peace.
Of course the fact that I do not achieve such a victory is perhaps not only e-commerce photo editing due to weakness but also to an insidious arrogance that pushes me to stand out. And when I cant do that with my skills maybe I do by highlighting my differences. Just like a disabled person who reduces his disability to specialness and rejoices even with the embarrassment it causes in his environment. But if I try to put aside my guilt for a while and take up my own defense I might be able to that the things that are important to each of us are different. How our childhood constitutes everyones root.
And that tradition is what moves everyone and pleasure what disturbs them. And that everyone has the right to feel humiliated or angry about other things. I know that the exhortation to emphasize what unites us and not what divides us is being heard more and more often by really wellintentioned people. But maybe this is also dangerous. Because it leads to groupings and exclusions. Nothing needs to be emphasized other than the uniqueness of each person and the respect and admiration that they deserve and owe to them. After all the things that unite us would have no value if there were not those that separate us.
