From outside the dance-circle, you sing a lot of songs.

Firstly, I would like to present myself. I am a Greek who lived in Greece since the day she was born. I studied Biotechnology, I did a Master. Here, in Greece. I am moving to continue my studies in Italy. I am 26 years old and I am proud that I was born and raised in Greece. 
Regardless what people think- and talk- about Greece- Greeks- the recession, Greece for me will be the country we all love to hate. 
The reason which compelled me to write this post is mainly the fierceness against the Greek nation, deriving from people that live their lives somewhere across the globe- not even Europe- with poor knowledge of what we- the Greek pigs- are going through. 
My main problem is my belief that people are not numbers as the majority of the Economists would like to convince us. That the national motto "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" of the French Revolution as the time goes by, has completely lost its meaning. It is my problem that my beliefs-moral, political, religion oriented- have been invalid, disrespected, discriminated, disregarded, laughed at and cancelled by people that all they see is numbers. 
I red just a few minutes ago a comment- from a person who lives in the USA- in an article with the title "Greece goes the way of Argentina", to wonder if they throw us from the Euro-zone if we will keep dancing in the streets. I would like to reply to this malicious propaganda as simple as this; we will keep dancing in the streets, in the squares, everywhere we can, we will dance ("hunger fights castles"-). Because last time I checked the USA had to deal with numerous economic crises due to their lack of managing their own capitalistic monsters. But yet again, only the poor paid the price- as usual.
The people who have not experienced an economic crisis to their skin, I understand that, they will never be able to get the slightest essence of what the-so was called- middle and working class going through. Hence, I am incapable of judging neither their arrogance nor the imputation of blame and responsibility to the lower classes. 
As I said, I am not an Economist, but I know this much; Europe as we knew it has changed, not because of the Greek referendum (only), but also because of the people that consist it. Not the politicians. The- everyday- people of Europe. The time to choose what kind of Europe we want has come. Not for the politicians, not for ourselves. For the generations that will follow. 
What Europe do you want? The Europe that enslaves countries with weak economy, imitating the Nazis on WWII? The Europe that thinks all this is a muscle game and the brawniest will win a Greek island? The Europe consisted of politicians of member-countries ready to lend a hand to the corrupted media for their daily propaganda/ demagogy to scare the people of another member-country in order to vote according firsts' appetite? Or you want the Europe that the tripartite motto of the French Revolution will make sense? The Europe that every country keeps its identity without the need to capitalize on another one? The Europe with the European Union which is actually a union and not a fight ring. 

I am not saying that we Greeks are saints. All I am saying is people that are outside of the dance-circle can sing a lot of songs, as a Greek proverb indicate.
