I know Greeks are emotional, passionate and love to express themselves... But I disagree that Greeks are natural born actors and that half of Greece sings. In this case, we could not consider this a feature of the people. The fact that half of the country is singing is due mainly to the fact that the media have promoted such a prototype to show that you would live better nowadays only if you are singer. This is a phenomenon not observed in other countries. We should ask ourselves not why half of Greece is singing and that people are talented, but why an 18-year-old youth wants to become a singer. Because he or she knows that as a singer of popular music with folk elements, with average text and music, he or she will earn money. Our society’s concept is money. It may sound sad, but it is true. This young man is continuously watching on TV people of no music talent to sing here and there and getting rich. So, why won’t he? Let me tell you that the relationship that has developed between the media and spectators is not entirely bilateral. And we are not talking just about music and acting. When each channel has two reality shows it means something... The channel does not ask the viewers "What would you like to see?”... But it is never too late to change this connection. Society continues to develop.  A new generation was born, another dies and another new is born again.

Virtually, it's nice and necessary to be optimistic. And I'm optimistic provided that we assume that none of us is faultless. Because everyone is interested only in his house, his pocket and what is happening around him. We should stop thinking that way. Our greed is to blame for the crisis too. A cup of coffee in not enough in the company of friends. We want more. Palace, nice car, villa, etc. Without making any efforts for all this. If you ask me, this is an American prototype. Incur debts, enjoy all good things in life and you have a lifetime ahead to pay for it all. This may sound good but things are different in practice. I do not know the system and the work in America in details but I know that the American dream became the World dream. For each country separately. The crisis is a good chance any of us to analyze the things..

Eventually, we should listen to our souls more
