"Hellenism, the only hope for humankind"

Three foreigners "philhellenes", a Persian, French and a Nigerian, shout us: "Do your duty on your ancestors!"

What Hellenism means for someone is complicated issue.

The correct rendering of the word, is that it was a collective philosophical movement that was considering the position of the new man in the world and had no ethnological or border character.

The words of Plato: "I am not interested in a specific man, but man as an idea", is the substantive interpretation of the term Hellenism.

Foreign philhellenes speak for Hellenism

Those three speakers, at an event held in Thessaloniki on "Hellenism: The only solution for humanity" and was organized by the Greek Citizens Group, argued that "Hellenism is the counterweight to un-freedom".

They believe that all Greeks will give again the lights in a dark world and they will punish those afflicting the universe.

Mrs. Simone Le Baron (French) French teacher, linguist, writer, Mr. Arsam Momeni (Iranian) Doctor of Architecture, author and Mr. Sam Chekwas (Nigerian) dentist, editor, writer, met in Chalkidiki in the event for Hellenism.

Through their speeches, they tried to convince us to love our roots again and to become a springboard of global overturning in collaboration with the philhellenes, globally.

The Sam Chekwas, (who I made his acquaintance in New York), is a man to whom the Diaspora but also Greece 'owes' a lot. Sam Chekwas was the first and only who opened a Greek bookstore in the heart of Astoria. And this says it all ... Sam speaks for Greece, outside Greece and Greece is absent.
They all complain about the obscurantist "multiculturalism of New World Order" and "the anti-Hellenic politicians" who seeking to impose it, creating "one race without roots and history in order to quench Greece."

"You have forgotten who you are ..."

The staggering French speaker, who lives in Greece for many years, noted that during the 70s, when she first came to our country, she was impressed by the Greek family and the family bonds.

Now years later, regrets, because what kept her then in Greece, now no longer exists.

Abroad, they learn about Greece, learn about the ancient philosophers, learn the Greek language; what do we do here?
We destroy the Greek language, we have filed the ancient Greek language (when in foreign countries teach it) and young people do not study (not even read) the ancient philosophers?

Let us reflect individually on the importance of Hellenism and how we can now apply this philosophy to save our country and the West.
Because as Sam Chekwas reminded the words of Alexander the Great: "What is not celebrated becomes estranged and dies."
