again viewpoint you willingly promote an example which presents a discredited and much unloved person as a typical Cypriot, of Greek origin. Always the same example, as well, I might add. I think time in your mind has stopped. No one is more important to you than this man and his ilk. You may be ill with a kind of depression, or you are a person just as unable as Sampson to confront your own fears. Living in denial is not healthy, look at the result in his life. Talking to people kindly, with this thinking in the back of your mind makes you no different to him, the same kind of madmen like him, that pollute all parts of the earth to this day.
I believe in you. You have the stomach to be discussing this Problem almost every day. You just have to believe in yourself. One day, beyond the simple answers we have constructed for ourselves today, change will be embraced, there will exist another answer completely different, the one that all can see as better, and it will resolve to give respect for one another a place in all our hearts, where we can work in cooperation, what should be natural; rather than in fear, with the promotion of ignorant thought.
As a consequence of dividing this island, none of this island's dwellers will ever be secure. Furthermore, Greece, Turkey, and the other interlocutors will have less security because of their stagnation in a policy where they remain as adversaries. If Turkey does not lead, it will be more difficult for the rest of the world. A mono clonal culture, like in the United States where everyone identifies themselves as American without hesitation, sustains itself because it is inclusive, and it can adapt to changes which are brought on by the distinctiveness, and the diversity of the people themselves, as Individuals, equal, under a Rule of Law. I like to think if Ataturk was alive today, he would have the courage to make everyone in Turkey learn English, and another language of their choosing as well as Turkish. If Ataturk was alive today, probably, Turkey, the Turkish State, would be functional in about 183 languages, and more Turkish would be spoken around the globe. Needless to say, States like the EU and China have some soul searching to do as well, when it comes to Accommodation, beyond wheel chair ramps and workers rights, and Turkey through its own reform must lead the way.
...like i said to you many times before, they don't have blackmen swinging from trees anymore.
In Cyprus, the countervailing powers exist to promote our own Identity. This very rare opportunity, to choose to be a country, and to represent ourselves in the world. It opens the question, not what we can get out of this opportunity for ourselves, rather, what we can give to the rest of Humanity as one people, a member of a larger family, of Man.
