Hello Bir dear ....

I thought you knew me better than to assume my provocations are purposeless.
I suppose it's the
purpose you are having doubts about and hence the anger.
Bir wrote:History is history.
Yes, History is subjective, and written by the Victors.
Which is why that piece written by Aristakes was so poignant. Because he was not of the victorious, but he managed to reach out from the past and make me feel the pain, sorrow and horror of what he witnessed.
Bir wrote:... ever find a solution...
Who knows from where the solution will materialise.
And what solution and for whom?
VP's solution for acquiring recognition for his desired partition?
Or my solution for a whole Cyprus, for all people, respecting its Democracy in order to live freely?
Options.

Of all the posters, I most advocate that
all the voices should be heard ... I have never tried to silence even those who most oppose my views, be they Eric or be they yourself.
All are the same to me .... so long as we keep firing options, views and different angles from which to look at the problem.
I am not "male" enough to think
only my views are right, and everyone who opposes me is sabotaging my "purpose".
I just talk faster/louder, and think deeper/harder.

Maybe we should be aiming for embracing each other as one Nation of Humans first, and
then seeing ourselves as one small family within that.

Is that the same wind that blows out a candle, but fans the bonfire .....
