Europe now

The problems Europe is facing nowaday are not only due to a lack of growth, but also to a beginning of decay.
And very often the final stroke comes from the unsuccesful answer to them,the reason being mostly on the fact that the responsibles do not know the solution because they do not want to understand the question.
Sometimes not wanting to see is like voluntarily ignore the facts.
A moment comes when your actions have to bear some kind of relation to your words.
That is what is called the moment of truth.
But that moment never comes, it is on purpose avoided.
That is one of the natural limits of a democracy.
In a country where the power comes from the votes of the citizens and the number is the discriminatory fact that decides if somebody will rule for the next period, getting the most of them becomes the purpose of every candidate.
In a theoretical democracy the winner is the best, because the voters fully understand who is the most apt to rule.
In a practical democracy the majority of the votes usually goes to the one
who is more popular, more likeable, best presented.
Presentation is almost everything, the entire question is a question of looks.
Presentation also includes a vision of the future that the voters like, that they can dream and feel entitled to have.
Voters prefer to believe in miracles than in reality.
They are first and mostly consumers of the dreams of "loosing 50 pounds without dieting or sacrifices", "getting the most out of your money, if rightly taught to", "getting something in three easy steps", being able to consume without producing, earn without working, or at least not too much and so on.
