"It deserves my friend to exist for a dream even if its fire will burn you"

"Honesty man Mr. Pantelis
you have a shop somewhere in the earth
you sell your merchandize, you make money
a lot of money, a lot of money
Sundays morning in the church
you make your cross to virgin mary.

Honesty man Mr. Pantelis
you have a wife, a daughter and a son
modern furniture, coloured TV,
you eat intellectual food.
Away from political parties not to have trouble,
"Country, Religion and family"

Honesty man Mr. Pantelis
what if thousands of people die without food
blacks, whites or yellows.
Only your son to be good
to leave the name and the money

Honesty man Mr. Pantelis
you rotted in the shop
you expensed your youth and your vehemence
for the money, for the skin
beside you the dream, the life and the light
but you stayed inside your shell.

Do you know how others gave, Mr. Pantelis,
their youth and lives
to make the dream a piece of bread
from which you also eat.

And what you gave Mr. Pantelis?
Tell us what you did on this earth?
Tell us what you left as heritage
that would inspire the new generation

Honesty man Mr. Pantelis
fearful and without will
you messed the dream and the soul
empty skin without bread.

Honesty people, new generation
bury the honests in the fields
and those who made Mr. Pantelis
a useless worm on this earth."**


There are people with ideas and dreams, people who want to make the world a better place for everyone.

There are other people who do not have ideas and dreams, people who only see their personal benefits and nothing else.

There are people that fight and give even their life for their ideas and their dreams.

There are other people that always stay in the back and wait for the others to make the move, people who always want to be with the winners and have no opinion about anything.

There are people who LIVE in this life even if this means their death.

There are other people who "live" in this life by rotting in the hunting of false dreams of money and personal wealth.

And as someone sometime said:

"It deserves my friend to exist for a dream even if its fire will burn you"

Back from Vacations

Just back from Vacation...

5 days full of sea, relaxation and rest!!

What i understood is that vacations are certainly a need for human beings to be able to continue their creativity.

Before 10-15 years here in Greece people used to go out for vacations for 3-4 weeks every year. Nowdays this has been compressed in 1-2 weeks and for youngsters even 5 days.

The cost for vacations is getting higher and higher and this is making vacations a dream for many people. The informations that are given by the press says that more than 40% of the Greek population don't have the ability to go for vacations. The same time the banks are taking advantage of it and published a new loan: The vacation loan!!!

Every human need is important. As you can not live without food you can not live without rest. Vacations are a need for human beings to keep creative and live. We must ensure it.
