The map of fires only on the 3d day... Now is even worse... Kolyri is my homeplace, my village...



Kolyri on fire


What I read on papers for my village Kolyri... :-(

"...Before dawn, church bells rang out in the village of Kolyri near Ancient Olympia as residents gathered their belongings and fled. Villagers returned to find at least seven houses gutted. "It's hell everywhere," Kolyri resident Costas Ladas said. "I've never seen anything like it." Ladas, 47, said the blaze covered three kilometers (less than two miles) in three minutes. Resident Fotis Hadzopoulos, 39, said the evacuation was chaotic. "Children were crying, and their mothers were trying to comfort them," he said. Six firefighting planes were dropping water in the area.

The fire blazed into the nearby village of Varvasaina, destroying several houses. As residents rushed to battle the flames, others, stunned, walked the streets holding their heads in their hands.


Across the country, churchgoers prayed for the blazes to abate. ..."

Greece on fire...


Greece is on fire... and I m not there to help my people to save their lives and property. Fire gave a hot kiss to my village called Kolliri in Pyrgos, Helias prefecture, but fortunately didn't f**k it completely... Of course all forest is burnt...but at least its citizens are alive. Four houses were completely bunt, most of olive trees- fields and some agricultural-storage-houses...
I don't know who wants to destroy Greece. I have some ideas, but I think that this is more than I could imagine from our enemies... I'm sure they will be punished in their lives, cause I believe in natural judge...and balance, but until then greek people will keep fighting... worrying and crying for what they lost.

But, we r a little bit responsible for this. Cause last years, greeks don't care so much for our country but for ourrselves. Some of us believe that it's more important to make money stealing Greece-goverment- than help this country get better and stabile.
Some of us just want to improve the quality of their life, building a luxury house in a forest...among the trees...,even if they first have to burn part of the forest, so to be able to do that later...and goverment is also responsible for this... Law should punish them, but when the power comes over the Law...then a whole country is uncontrolable...and its citizens feel unsecure for the future...
Some of us, also, prefer to leave Greece and go somewhere else, to have a better life or at least to have a more organised life. I feel like one of them. Something goes wrong in this country and we must fix it!But...
We must defend it!But...
I know we should stay in Greece fighting, but this is not allways the sollution... I think the experience of leaving in another country is a strong advantage to have a more spherical aspect-view of the problems, and a more logical reaction.But...
Anyway, the real problem is what people do to defend bad situations, in greece;nothing? Why? How they can? When it started? How it started? Why they don't care about their children future? Why they spoil nature just to improve their property? Why they r so selfish??Why?Why?Why?Why?...So many questions... that will stay without an answer in my mind... I have them in mind from when I was a child... growing up in a country that every other country thinks that is a mess...only a holiday place for most of them...
Sometimes I think that Greece should be a european colony:-P
Greek citizens, but german ministers... Maybe this could organise the national system a little bit...I really don't know...if it would work, but greek goverments have proved that the only think they really can do well is to f**k their own country just to make money... and be happy with their families, relatives and friends...
They prefer to employ a nephew in goverment -even if he is completely stupid and unable for the job-, than to employ the appropriate person with the right qualification and CV... They prefer to not wait in que for the hospital and have the best doctors for free, even if somebody else need them more than they do!! They prefer to spend government money for expensive dinners and celebrations, or for their wife dress... than spending them for health, education, nation improvement in general... That is the greek system; living for yourelf,nothing more. Fortunately there are lot of people thet we don't follow their fucken system! And we will keep resisting!

I just wanted to finish this small brainstorm-article with one phrase:
"Every day is the first day of our rest life"
We can imagine that we r born every day. Forget the past and just try to improve future...just try at least... Let's put a small effort...If eachone of us do it so...I think world will get better, nature will punish us less, people will be more humans..., smile n love will be more important than money, human life will be more important than a villa in forest and nation improvement will be more important for us than our property improvement...
I hope so... I will not stop dreaming of a better world, of a better Greece, of better Humans...

Excuse me for my mistakes in english...
