I remember a psychologist who said: "Losers let things happen, winners make things happen." Also, when I was a child I read "The Iliad" and I remember how the Greeks placed a horse made of wood at the door of Troy and pretended to leave. Stratagem that Odysseus used to take Troy and destroy it. Inside the wooden horse were some Greeks. The Trojans brought the horse into the city and began to celebrate their victory. When the Trojans were drunk and had fallen asleep, the Greeks who were hiding on the wooden horse, came out of their hiding place and opened the gates of the city, which was easily taken and destroyed.
At this moment, it is being discussed whether the horse should enter the walls or if it is set on fire. I propose to set fire to the horse, because if it is entered in the city, Troy will cease to exist.
Everything possible should be done so that violence does not occur, but violence is being imposed on us and that is why I am with Patrick Henry from whom I copy some parts of his famous speech:
……….different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony.
Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded, and we have been spurned, with contempt,……………
In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace ……….. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon, until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight!
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and s***ery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
