Some of the media has painted the recent crisis in Greece, and in all of Europe in general, as an apocalyptic end-of-the world situation. Though the economic troubles there are terrible, on a recent trip to Europe, I didn’t find anything suggesting that Europe is on its way out. People filled the streets, shops were crowded; hard times or not, the people of Europe continued their lives. There were very few beggars; very few signs of an imminent apocalypse. I sincerely hope that soon, every single European will be able to enjoy life as they did before 2008.

Let’s hope at the end, as you mention, every single European will be able to enjoy life as used to do.
