“Everyone who serves in good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is ashamed evil to be called<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And is virtue taught to man?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the infant says and listens learns<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what he had never learned<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And really what everyone learns<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This keeps it until his deep old age<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So raise your children properly<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t virtue a more valuable possession?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She doesn’t enslave you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

neither in money nor in fireplaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nor to mob flattery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtue, the more you practice the exercise, you increase” “Suppliants”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what Euripides writes in the “Suppliants” at a time when Virtue was honored as a supreme good and the world was then ideal from birth and man psychospiritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, unfortunately, despite the sharp increase in technology and the growth of material well-being and unbridled prosperity of some, the individual is utterly unhappy and deprived of virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, unfortunately, despite the sharp increase in technology and the growth of material prosperity and extreme prosperity of some, the individual is extremely miserable and deprived of virtue, because new standards have been set for him to believe money as the supreme good and with the mobile sleeping at his bedside. Society slipped into unbridled atrocity, the dizziness, which the world, with the sole exception of Cenghis Khan and the Turkish savagery, saw no other. Now everyone is wondering where is humanity going? Wars, divisions, unbridled envy, hysteria, crimes, murders and great destruction. Psychopathic peoples dragging them like a herd to slaughter and no reaction, without conscience submissive. Nor do they feel compassion for their neighbor’s murder and brutal violence are now razing cities and villages, the same Alarics who leveled civilization and the Greeks threw into ignominious slavery. The more evil they grow, the more they become addicted to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more evil grows, the more they become addicted to blood and with the crimes the peoples now bleed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The children, the older victims, orphans without protection in violence and suffering, get on the boats to go into the unknown from war, chased like birds injured by the hunter and flying bloody. And our society is impassive in the face of this unprecedented dance of the damned competing to kill more imperceptibly. Everything has fallen, all demolished, institutions of the past and customs-customs that individuals made refined, now observe none. Return to primitivism, barbarism and “anthropophagy<\/em>” Soon, when food becomes scarce for many, corpses may become prey to fast food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Where will this terrible descent of decline, disintegration, injustice, mass crime, of “holistic” destruction and insanity, is there no end to this pernicious and abominable race where criminal figures are protagonists, leaders stained with blood and shame?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Hubris<\/strong> in our days has become Ati<\/strong> and there will be something this great crime washed away and changed. Eventually, natural law will prevail and the global balance will be restored. Those who have written everything and through their sufferings in ancient theaters have taught it, no one reads them anymore, which is why the world today suffers and violates universal law. The times are not over. Hellenism is sweet….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
