Το να μην γουστάρεις την Αφροδίτη και την κάθε Αφροδίτη είσαι σεβαστό και στα όρια της δημοκρατίας.
Το να βλέπω όμως άντρες και γυναίκες να δίνουν συγχαρητήρια στην κωλορατσα με ξεπερνάει.
Greece doesn’t have a housing crisis.
It has a civilization crisis.
I’m here. I see it. I know my people.
More than half of young Greeks between 25 - 34 still live with their parents. Yes, we’re a traditional country, but that’s not why. If you think this is about housing, you’ve completely missed what’s happening to Greece.
The biggest problem facing Greece is decades of brain drain. The fearless, entrepreneurial DNA packed its bags and crossed the oceans. Greeks built businesses, took risks, and created wealth in America, Australia, Germany, Canada, and everywhere else they landed. Ask anyone around the world what they think of a Greek, and they’ll tell you they’re hardworking, family-oriented, hospitable, and know how to make money.
So what’s left?
Too many people chasing government jobs. Too many waiting for handouts. Too many waiting for politicians to build a future they should be building themselves.
The descendants of warriors now walk the same fertile ground their ancestors died defending, yet too many have traded broad shoulders for pear-shaped bodies. Yeah, I said it. It got me in trouble before, and I’ll say it again. Nobody wants to suffer anymore. Nobody wants to take risks. Nobody wants to build. Everybody wants comfort.
Meanwhile, the people with ambition keep leaving. The villages are dying. Fewer children are being born. Everyone rushes into the cities.
And here’s the craziest part.
It’s 2026.
You don’t even have to leave Greece anymore. You can build a global business from a village overlooking the Aegean with a laptop and Wi-Fi.
Yet too many are still waiting. Waiting for the next government job. Waiting for the next political party. Waiting for someone else to save them.
Meanwhile, the Greek diaspora is coming back with money. Foreigners are buying the coastline. Greece is quietly becoming the Miami of Europe.
And the native Greek watches instead of owns.
They’re going to read this and get angry. They’ll call me every name in the book.
Fine.
But before you attack me, ask yourself one question.
Why is this guy yelling?
Because I’m on your side.
I don’t want to see Greece decline. I want to see Greece rise. I know what still lingers within us because I am one of you. I know my cousins. I know my friends. I know who we are.
Ignite the Greeks.
The fire still lingers within.
@heimrunning@UltraRunner26 I’m working with a PT after a partial knee replacement. When it’s time to run it’s 30 second off 30 second on 5 times. After two days of that with a rest day in between it bumps up to one minute on one off. I just got to two on, two off. So far so good.
@anymanfitness This is why you don’t tell short women who like to eat that they don’t need cardio. 5 ft 2 and 49 years old. The only way I stay in shape is adding cardio 6 days a week. Thank God I like doing it.
@soigomaa Yes, I got to the end of the world which was the end of the ocean in a small canoe. The things I saw in the water and the feeling of the canoe tapping the edge have never left my mind.
@Michael_Druggan I listened to all the advice years ago about how cardio doesn’t help and gained 20 pounds. If you’re a petite woman who likes food then you absolutely need cardio. I added my beloved cardio back in and am now at a healthy 123 pounds, love my cardio highs and can indulge sometimes
