A Lesson in History.

I have to explain one thing that might have been misunderstood
From my writings.

Greeks have always had
a passion for politics.
After all they are the ones who invented Democracy .

The are the ones who also invented the Twelve gods of Olympus as well ,who had
The same passions and made the same mistakes of judgment as regular human beings.

Greeks reached their peak in
Philosophy ,
Theater, Architecture ,
Medicine ,
Sculpture ,
Music ,
In 500 BC and set the standards for everyone else to follow.

The decline started with Greece`s occupation from the
Romans
And with the rise of
Christianity .

After the second world war Greeks have been influenced by the American culture
and as a result have developed a brotherhood with the American People,
but they deeply despise the American Foreign Policy.


From 1967 till 1974 Greece was under a dictatorship generated by The American Foreign policy which caused many years backwards to Greece`s development ,
in a time that was essential for the country
To move forward and catch up with the rest of the Western European Countries.

So It`s no wonder that these strong feelings of dissentment were settled in
under these seven years.

I too was affected by the stupidity and the obscurity of these years
as everyone else who lived here,
But I was finding refuge in my dreamland of MUSIC.
