Greece my friend in not something material and can not be balanced against money. Greece (Hellas) is the HIGHEST ideal ever.
And since you are very good in history (even if you pretend otherwise some times) I am sure know that, as the ancients used to say, poverty was always Greeces closest companion. Nevertheless, poverty did not stop her from achieving marvelous things through the millennia. Its these marvelous achievements that through the centuries, have made so many so envious and so hateful,but also so many more so keen to get under her wings or even to just be identified as Greeks in spirit and culture, even though not being Greeks by blood.
