These Greeks.

That's Orthodox Christianity, I tell ya what. It's the foundation of Greek culture. The world needs more of it for sure!

The word you are looking for is "Filotomis." This embodies what it means to be Greek.

There is a Greek word, "philotimos", which does not have a direct translation to English but it means a sense of civic duty, a desire to do one's best, and a deep respect for one's own dignity and the dignity of others. Important virtues that are sadly rare these days.

Not unusual in our part of the world.

This is what Europe was once built on…. This is what “they” are trying to end

In Greece we call these stories "papantzes"

Lovely to hear the 400 years of Ottoman rulement over greeks have thought them some humanity after all. Perhaps they are not lost at all, even if God has forsaken greece.

This will not last long if Greece becomes similar to the US

Orthodoxy is why Greece is this way
