Theofanis Varvoglis: “Greece is pretty open about religion. It has a strong cultural aspect to it and identifies us culturally, not as much religiously. In my younger years, I said, "If Christ said all these things, why don't we keep them? Why don't we do the things he says? I tried to do the things he said. 

As a child I believed. 

As humans we are very strict about death. I'm not talking about killing in general. We are very strict about it as a society, this makes sense to me. But nature is not that way. Nature feels death is a necessary thing.

If I were dying and saying goodbye to everybody, I'd want them to know that if I had treated them wrongly, it wasn't because I intended to. ‘I tried. I did my best. I didn't mean to harm you.’

People in general try. They don't set out to attack you or harm you. It’s their limitations that get in the way and have this impact. So when you see someone failing, they aren't being lazy. Don't think they are mal-intended. Think that they are trying and doing the best they can.”
