Remember Plato . Saying the body is like a chariot the mind is the driver and you sitting on the back seat.yore consciousness is real the rest is temporary.the soul that is the self. As a Greek I use my intellect to control the mind what it will accumulate. Ijia ke xara se olous.zito o DIAS.
Ολοι οι εργαζόμενοι οικογενειάρχες Έλληνες της διασποράς μας κάνετε υπερηφανους! Συνεχίστε να κρατάτε ψηλά τη σημαία του μοναδικού έθνους μας εκει στα ξένα. Με το καλο να επιστρέψετε!
I'm half Greek and I've been to Greece 3 times. My mother was born in Brooklyn but they returned to Corinth, Greece at 6 months old and returned to America at 8 yrs old, so from her I'm second generation. My non-Greek fathers side has been in America since the 16-1700s. Our mother never taught us Greek which was a disadvantage when I visited Greece. I grew up out west so the Greek community is small and scattered. I find a lot of Greek Americans are leftist liberals which I'm not. My late wife was a white native American mix. I never lived around enough Greeks to date Greek women but my late Greek mother was an awesome mother and my late non-Greek father was also awesome, they made a good team. I consider myself just American but I do embrace our Byzantine heritage. I dislike these non-Greeks, like English, who try and claim Byzantine heritage. I go to the Antiocha Orthodox Church in nearby Tucson, Arizona
You should do something about Greeks in America that are isolated from other Greeks and culture. Tucson an hour away has a few Greeks but I still identify as Greek or half. I've been to Greece 3 times and Istanbul/Constantinople. I personally prefer to identify as an. American with Greek ancestry but my other half has been America since the 16-1700s.
I believe that the Greeks of the Diaspora in America carry all the stereotypes and have tried over the years to keep the Greek culture so much that with the passage of time it has become something so ridiculous and in some cases they are cartoonish,I think the majority in Greece sees it that way. I make this comment as a Greek living in Greece for over 25 years.
Μετακομίσεις στην Ελλάδα και έμεινες στην Αμερική; ρωτάω επειδή έχω το ίδιο υπόβαθρο. Συμφωνώ με το σχόλιο σου. It is ultimately language that holds any culture together.
Know the self don't be cultivated. The body is like a chariot the mind is the driver and you sitting on the back seat.you are responsible the boss.pure consciousness.malakes.
When making the documentary don't translate the Greek parts please. It is very painful to see our language die due to ignorance and monolingualism. At least put subtitles.
I am quarter and proud 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
We are a minority that excels above everyone else in academia
Titans,Omonia ,Thelis,Viktoria ,I miss Uncle George ,Astoria always in my heart Ágios Dimitri...memories ❤️
As a Greek Australian I can say that it’s exactly the same thing down under.
New York = Melbourne
Astoria = Prahran in the 70’s and Oakleigh today
I have the eyes like the Greek icons too lol.
50% Greek my mom from Chíos , Greece, That Irish Italian. I’m born in The US. My Greek isn’t as good as it use to be. Born outside Philadelphia.
I'm half Mediterranean so I actually want to move abroad. I feel more comfortable in Europe.

You should identify as a Greek American. That's your proper identity.
You aren’t Greek ! Move on
