The start of Christian fasting for 40 days starts today, the "Clean Monday". All dairy and meat products ideally should disappear from our daily eating habits. The most "fanatical" approach even disgards all olive oil based foods. So basically what is left to eat? Very little.
40 days after, the Greek Christian Orthodox Eastern comes and with the "Anastasis of God" - The Ressurection - the fasting period ends and everybody goes back to the normal daily eating habits.
This is a great simile to the Greek Financial Crisis. We are in the quest for our Ressurection, a ressurection that will come after a long period (more than 40 days) of fasting. Sometimes the bad is for the good and -I thing- and vice versa. Maybe we need this ressurection, we need to find the road to growth and development. We need as Greeks to join forces.
Will See.
