Avoid unrighteousness, not death - Kastellorizo Independence Day

Socrates said during his Apology:

"For neither in war, nor yet at law ought any man to use every way of escaping death. For often in battle there is no doubt that if a man will throw away his arms, and fall on his knees before his pursuers, he may escape death; and in other dangers, there are other ways of escaping death, if a man is willing to say and do anything. The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death."

Happy, reflective Kastellorizo Independence Day to the locals, the ex-pats & the aficionados of our island.

May such days remain symbols for all of us. But for the *right* (and not ‘unright’) reasons.
