The Bull and the Island

More about The Bull and the Island

From the time I could hold an informed political opinion in my mind, I was against Europe. I never asked for it.

From the brief time in 2016, where world peace was in reach, Empires arose all over the earth.

From the time that these Empires decided, that Europe needed to go, I became militant,
for Europe, not against it any more. For what elitist Emperor can possibly know what is best for me and my people. And when I say my people, I include all reasonable intelligent life.

And yet I know, that Europe, in any of its forms, can never die. Because Europe is not about political borders, it is about the idea of unification, the idea, that people can work together and build something greater, the idea, that we, as a people, can reach beyond the challenges the universe has set for us and surpass them, master them.

And an idea can never die. Armies might be defeated, cities be burned, people enslaved (even if only in spirit). But the whispered word of an idea so powerful, is stronger than any doctrine. It unites a people, it gives them motivation, it gives them hope. I say to these emperors: you can not kill Europe, for it cannot, die.

And everyone who believes any of this, may call themselves a european, for they have the right to do so. Not the political European, not yet, maybe in 10000 years, because an idea never dies, but they can call themselves by the term, that describes their desire for unification, cooperation and enlightenment. They may call themselves european.
