We are suffering
A friend told me that in Greece when you say “Hello, how are you?” the response is ypoféroume (ipo fer me), which means in common speech, “We are fine.” But in reality its real translation is, “We are suffering.”
So today, those of us about to die (at some point in life) salute you with ypoféroume. My life is fabulous, and still I suffer. I have too many people close to me who are battling cancer. I am reading too many blogs/books about racism. I am earning in a year what I used to make in a month and though I feel free, living is not free (easy, yes, but not free).
Yes, we are fine, and we are suffering.
Perhaps, this goes without saying.
