Putin's War Is Not Now With Ukraine, But With Each Of Us
Faced with the stupid and bloody aggression carried out by Putin on Ukraine, Europe is today similar to the multitude of Greek cities of the ancient world, which only the invasion of the colossal Persian army could endow with the consciousness of their unity of values and ideals, of the thought that they formed a single world. A disproportionate and menacing force, apparently invincible, was only able to unite Athens and Sparta, terrible rivals, to bring them under a single command, with the same will to fight for freedom. Since then, and countless times over the centuries, the war between servitude and freedom has been repeated in different worlds, as the eternal archetype of the human condition. Because it is not primarily a war with armies on the battlefield, but an eternal inner conflict, in each of us.
