Today I was watching Judo, my son, 7 years old had his lessons and I always go there to see how he progresses and enjoy seeing him having a lot of fun.
The Sensei placed a big one meter in diameter ball in the middle of the Dojo. The youngsters were split up into two teams, six persons each. One team was positioned at the right side of the Dojo, the other team on the left side. Each team had to obtain the ball and bring it to the other side. The team that managed to achieve this had won.
As expected each child individually tried to get hold of the ball and take it to the opponent side. It failed since all kids had about the same strength and the ball stayed in the middle. The Sensei told the kids to work together as a team and “attack” another team member causing the opponent team to become weaker. The Sensei explained they had to choose one person within their team that would grab the ball while the other team members attacked the opponent team members. The team had to agree upon that one person.
The match was started again, the ball in the middle.
Despite the fact one person was chosen to grab the ball 4 persons were running for the ball in order to bring it to the opponent side and the match had about the same outcome.
The Sensei again stopped the match and asked again why more than one person was competing for the ball. ONE PERSON he said loudly.
The third match was a lot better in terms of cooperation and one team almost achieved the goal.
Seeing this match between 7 year old kids I thought about the European Union where several countries together compete against other nations in terms of trade, wealth, power, etc. Opponents are Russia, China, US, etc.
I see that all these countries are, just like the kids, unable to work towards a joint goal. Really work together instead of saying that you will but actually go for your own agenda, try to achieve your own goals instead trying to achieve a joint goal.
They talk and talk, travel all over the world and only sparsely really contribute to the joint vision (if there is any). Billions are spend in order to achieve the goal. But despite all that financial power they are unable to see that EEC countries were misleading the other ones in terms of their financial position. And when discovered the other members a lot of effort was undertaken to help this fraudulent country. Strange... if a EEC citizen commits fraud he will end up in jail, the fraudulent country receives Millions.
Thinking about all of the above I realize there is no real EEC. There is only a joint currency and a bunch of kids fighting for power. With a lot of hidden agenda's.
If it was me to decide Greece was already removed from the EEC and the ones that committed fraud in jail.
