Europe is sick

Europe is sick, we are sick, very sick

Following the asphyxia we imposed to our Greek philosophy that once gave birth to democracy which we took for granted for so long, after losing one of our legs to Brexit as our distant cousins thought hopping or limping would make them rise and walk faster into the unknown, and just before we let our German brains inflict further painful and unnecessary surgeries to our already fragile bodies with the cheap excuse that only private clinics are the cure to our disengaged organs, we have now allowed a double cancer to slowly but surely take over our lungs. 

For so long Equality, Liberty, Fraternity were our symbols, our references, our model of enlightenment, and yet, today we have voted for both inequality, suppression and hostility.

Yes, our choice on May 7^th will be between a man who is backed by all those who created this despicable crisis we are living today in order to accelerate inequality, ignorance and bigotry, to ensure wealth is kept safe in the hands of a few with the backing of the EU institutions, a warily crafted neoliberal establishment, an outdated education system that obstructs reflection and a diabolical media engine that indoctrinates even the most intelligent of creatures, and…

… an individual who has clearly renegaded her feminine roots of care and compassion to cleverly, slowly and surely pick up the remains of the overlooked, the wounded and the distressed, victims of these policies, the weakness of leaders carefully selected for their lack of audacity, and a whole system now judiciously complex, offering the classic simple solutions of plain prejudice, close mindness and chauvinism against those who laid the foundations of its once great empire. 

The saddest part of this whole diagnosis is the fact that ordinary citizens have simply accepted their fate by embodying these venomous toxins and reduce their treatment to a daily dosage of complaints mixed with a few deliriums caused by the contagious fever of their infection.

I hope the medicine men or women who know the solution to a more balanced future will continue to rise to the challenge of rescuing and reconnecting us to our hearts, minds and souls and bring a holistic balanced long term solution to our well-being. 

Until then, I believe we must use what is left of our brains and vote for the least damaging of the two routes in the short term as a first step, and then take responsibility for our health, present and future, and fight every single day against these dangerous bacteria by taking an accurate dose of news, a good amount of reflection and questioning and plenty of love, tolerance and open mindness for one another through dialogue and understanding.
