Importanta Libertatii

Probabil ca multi dintre cei ce citesc asta inca nu pot intelege pe deplin importanta faptului ca sunt LIBERI sa vorbeasca, liberi sa se exprime pe sine de o maniera decenta, liberi sa decida si sa poata controla aspectele care ii privesc direct. Se spune ca cei care nu inteleg valoarea libertatii lor sunt de fapt prizonerii propriei ignorante si a incapacitatii lor de a actiona independent potrivit vointei lor. De multe ori nu toti putem fi liberi cand vrem sau suntem fortati sa nu fim liberi. In fiecare zi aflu cu surprindere cum multora le place sa fie neliberi dintr-un soi de masochism ciudat, tipic romanesc. E interesant ca la noi la romani cei care nu au fost liberi inainte de 89 nu se pot elibera nici acum.
E ca si in cazul acelor puscariasi care timp de 50 de ani au impartit aceeasi celula si au supravietuit ca niste legume intre patru pereti si liberi fiind in fata inchisorii sufera de agorafobie si mai stau ore in sir la povesti sau se gandesc ce sa faca sa se intoarca in nelibertate.
Romania de astazi este una dintre cele 27 de tari membre ale UE. Primul lucru pe care l-au realizat romanii dupa aderarea la UE a fost ca erau liberi sa calatoreasca peste granita, sa mearga in Italia sau Spania pentru a munci si a trai acolo. Deja am spus multora ca Romania este inca o tara ‘naspa’, ca unii oameni traiesc inca in trecut si ca … imi iubesc TARA cu disperare.
Nu suntem liberi sa mergem in strainatate, nu suntem liberi sa traim decent ca cetateni egali in toate tarile UE, nu suntem liberi ca castigam la fel de mult ca oricare alt european. Avem libertatea de a fi ACASA, de a nu vorbi propria limba, de a cosntrui ceva mai bun pentru viitor, aici, ACASA. Poate ca unii tinerii care inca mai traiesc aici, ACASA, nu mai cred in libertatea lor dar va spun ca trebuie sa credem in ea si nu ne va dezamagi in mod sigur. Este peste tot, chiar aici, chiar acum cand cititi gandurile astea ale mele pe blogul asta. Este unicul lucru pe care nu ni-l poate lua nimeni niciodata cu nici un chip – libertatea cugetului, a mintii si a vointei. Avem minunata libertate de a fi onesti cu noi insine si de a spune ce ne place si ce nu ne place.
A fi liber nu inseamna ca poti calatori peste granita . A fi liber inseamna a trai si a-ti castiga existenta ca om liber si cinstit. A fi liber inseamna a-ti exprima parerea si a-ti construi viitorul, libertatea e posibilitatea de a fi fidel propriilor idei si principii. A fi liber este cel mai minunat lucru pe care umanitatea isi permite sa ti-l dea.
Asa ca fii atent ca asta s-ar putea sa fie ultimul lucru pe care ti-l da … pe gratis.


daca nu incep sa mearga lucrurile cu adevarat bine si aici ACASA nu stiu cat mai pot sustine opiniile astea - imi trebui motive ... pozitive

GREECE - THE LAND WHERE MODERN CULTURE ORIGINATED FROM

Nothing else has made me recently exclaiming "How beautiful is that" or "Oh, look at that". Nothing else but the astonishing monuments one can admire and visit in Greece (Ελλάς - Ellas in Latin letters), in Athens to be more precise. After leaving home with a little concern about the trip - which was indeed very long (27 hours)- I arrived in Athens in the morning. I cannot describe how did I feel when entering this city.
Narrow streets, orange trees - a magic smell that somehow resembles the jasmin -, people everywhere, sun, beautiful people (the Greeks are really beautiful and very elegant people) and above all the feeling that I step on thousands of years of history and civilisation.
I heard stories about the Mediterranean sun, I heard stories about the people of Athens, I heard stories about the monuments but nothing can really describe Greece as it is. One should go there and discover it in his or her own way.
The Acropolis with its temples and the Agora made me feel, you know, small in front of one of the greatest achievements of the humankind. Stepping on the Sacred Rock of the old gods and seeing Athens in its full splendour is simply breathtaking.
Lycavittos - the hill at the centre of the city that is thought to be a rock dropped by the goddess Athena from the sky - is the other landmark on the horizon of Athens.
I have seen with my own eyes the famous Evzones - the guards in front of the Monument of the Unknown Soldier - in Syntagma Square. In summer it must be a tough job to stay in the sun but at least the guard is changed every one hour.
The tavernas couldn't have missed from my visit to Athens. Small but intimate and comfortable they offered me the chance to see the Greeks and not only having a cup of coffee or just chatting with friends. I cannot forget mentioning the Greek food - I recommend those who are visiting Greece 'souvlaki' and 'gyros' and of course some salad.
Do not imagine that Athens is a place where people just look at the ruins and do nothing else. The Greeks are very proud of the past but at the same time they value the present. The Greeks are Orthodox and they are very proud of that. The national flag consists of a cross and orizontal blue and white stripes.

As far as the public transport is concerned I can tell you it is very civilized and it works perfectly. Modern buses, trolleybuses and trams take the locals and the tourists in all the four corners of the city. The metro is ... perfect, it shines with cleanliness - I thought it may be transformed into a hospital one day :)). A tip - buy a 10 euro ticket that is valid one week on all means of transport and on all lines, except the express lines to the international airport.

Visiting Athens even if the time was too short has been the best decision I have made lately. It's been a unique occasion to see with my own eyes the place where the modern western culture originated from.
