To deal with a problem in Sweden, means dealing with a problem of the system; to deal with a problem in Greece means dealing with a system of problems.
Quoting myself from a conversation I just had over lunch about differences between Swedish and Greek cultures (actually “Balkan” cultures, as I was talking with Romanian colleagues), where at some point I concluded that the Swedish System, despite its problems, is actually preferable (for me) to the system of problems that a man has to deal with in Greece. At the moment I found it like a catchy thing to say that nevertheless captures the idea, so I thought I’d share it.
