A childish sketch and a childish text, but...

Source


The text is from a monk saying that all problems will be solved if Greeks return to Yahweh-Allah, in whatever way he means it. Probably by praying, fasting and keeping the rites, which will convince Yahweh-Allah to intervene. He says that otherwise even by a economic growth of 100%, austerity will be 400%. I don't know how austerity is measured.
The cartoon is national discord and is happy, because people have opinions. In the land of Homer, where his heroes discuss the matters and soldiers could speak their voice as well, in the land of orators and democracy, every opinion other than a prayer is an act of treason according to the theocrats.
Of course one might say, that monks don't play an active role, one can believe what one wishes, such articles aren't taken seriously, and so forth.
However one cannot discuss, because most participants have beliefs and not opinions. Somehow this tradition carries on, only one omits to say why.
Believers mostly profit from their beliefs, as they are members of parties and parishes and their jobs depend upon them. Communists, fascists and anarchists will preach their eschatological beliefs and because they have beliefs, and not opinions based on knowledge and reason, they will use every childish trick to win over the opponent.
So no discussions, no better ideas about what can be done under the circumstances about any problem, no learning from one another. Some people, which were never voted and many times no one knows anything about them, disperse sayings, that one can perceive that they are nonsense, or good for a small ruling minority and they will be accepted, because no one discusses. One won't discuss, because one doesn't want to be bothered by people who obviously talk nonsense and probably it seems as if it is their job to go around and talk nonsense. So one believes the mass media nonsense, uttered from people who have never been proofed able to solve any problems.
