On the one hand, we have the beauty of athletics with its enormous gifts at the individual and social level and on the other hand, the non-existence of the state (Politeia), i.e., the administrators and agents to support the development and ascendance of the efforts of the young athletes competing on behalf of the Hellenic Nation (Ethnos). As supported by interviews with athletes, their sponsors were and are their families, their coaches at any cost instead of the state.
And for the record, we already have 26 medals in 2024 from our wonderful Hellenic athletes before the commencement of the Olympic games in France. The greatness and strength of the soul of these young athletes, their families and their coaches surpass that of the sun who without the help of the state, managed to reach their goal and this is because the flame of their strong volition was and is dominant within them leading to the final result that we all rejoiced and enjoyed with infinite pride.
It is fair to briefly mention the etymology of the words ‘athlon’, ‘athlema’ and ‘athlete’. Athlon is a very unique or difficult feat. An athlete is the one who methodically trains in one or more athlemata (sports) and usually participates in athletic competitions. Athlema is the physical activity that is subject to certain rules and aims for the training of the body and the achievement of better progressive performance.
Thus, the essence in an athlete’s achievement of their goal is their strong and, I would say, almighty volition that eliminates every adversity, every economic crisis, every adverse condition, every non-existent state mechanism, institution, agent and generally every obstacle, where the sole motivation is that of the athletic spirit. It is time for all of us to learn the lesson, to be taught by the strong volition of these young athletes and with this strong volition and logic, a proven evidential process, move towards the great re-establishment of our Politeia (State) by changing all the bad and unjust elements that destroyed every sacred, true and proven function whose sole aim and purpose was the progressive and evolutionary course of the human genus in every plane and level within their Politeia.
If you want a mighty Ellas (Greece), a ‘golden’ Ellas, a strong Politeia with the human at its centre in all its activities, then activate your strong free volition in your present and do the right thing for the present of all of us, constructing the true Ellene Politeia with all the stable and resolute sacred foundations that will ascend the human and evolve their Politeia.
