We need to find our lost humanity

<p><strong>This article was inspired by an interview of a popular Greek writer; Chronis Missios, during which he goes into a frustration filled monologue regarding humanity as a whole and our detachment from that part of us that makes us human (up to the 1.19 mark of the video)</strong></p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="480" scrolling="no" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FuiIfpddGtLw%3Ffeature%3Doembed&amp;display_name=YouTube&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DuiIfpddGtLw&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FuiIfpddGtLw%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" title="Χρόνης Μίσσιος-Μαθήματα ζωής" width="640"></iframe></p> <p><strong>A bit about Chronis Missios:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>The Kavala-born Missios was [appointed] as an exile during the Civil War and the 1967&ndash;74 military dictatorship for his political beliefs.<br /> He spent the last years of his life living in near isolation with his partner, Rinio. Missios was critical of recent Greek governments and was surprised by people&rsquo;s apathy. &ldquo;For the first time, I live in a society that seems to have suffered a stroke. It does not react to anything,&rdquo; he has said. He is also famous for saying: &ldquo;My generation failed to change the world but at least I did not let the world change me.&rdquo;<br /> Poor from an early age, he couldn&rsquo;t pursue his studies in elementary school. During the German occupation Missios entered the resistance and in 1947 he was sentenced to death. In 1962 he was exiled by his fellow Greeks to Makronisos and Agios Stratis. After the political changeover he started to live free.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@rampathwithacause/we-need-to-find-our-lost-humanity-af283f78a0e3">Click Here</a>&nbsp;</p>
