The tower was part of the ancient fortification and served to protect mainly the military. They fled to it in times of war in order to prepare their defense or attack against the outer enemies.

It was a fortress of war, not of peace. However, the change in modern warfare, canceled the operation of a tower, the construction of new towers was discontinued, and the existing towers were turned into empty spaces for every use, mainly museums (in urban centers) or an irrelevant, to the reason they were built, use.

Nowadays, building a tower in Greece is obviously without reason, but at the same time it also states the suspicious thoughts of the builder of such an expensive building. So what can a modern Greek who wants to build a tower have in mind? The answer lies in the following message!

In the Greek language, the word “code” means “book”. We can all understand that a Code of Conduct is not a legal book in the sense of the written law, but it is a book that includes the elements that cannot be registered as law, but are of great value for how the law applies.

This helps people not to live under an unworthy law (= pelting the offender with stones), but even when someone begins to gradually violate a law, to give him the opportunity to perceive the consequences alone and decide to stop the illegal activities.

For the issues of living faith, this Code of Ethics is included in the Holy Bible; it is contained within the books of the New Testament and the Old Testament, and as we seek the presence of the living God, we are careful in our decisions, and above all, and we always seek good and beneficial solutions to the problems, not only of belief in the living God, but even in the matters of everyday life.

In short, the code of conduct of living and effective faith in the living God is here, and we ought to discover it and apply it daily so that our efforts can have beneficial and meaningful results.

The foundation in every building is not only the foundation upon which the whole building is based, but it is what’s built first, at the beginning.

And it’s not just that. Because the foundation determines the shape and size of the building, its uniqueness and its non-substitution are obvious. When someone starts a building, they can clearly change the shape and color of the doors and windows, change the position of the furniture and the decorations, but in no case can they turn back, remove the foundation that has already been built and build again a new foundation.

Such a move is obviously stupid, but beyond that, it is obvious that the building which is already built will be immediately broken down. This simple everyday and intimate truth is used by the writer of the Sacred Texts to bring us to the reality of life and to move us away from dreams.

In the personal building of living faith, you can change a lot, but not the foundation of your building. If you ignore this truth, collapse and destruction are certain.

“Emporakos” is a word in greek that describes a small merchant, a type of person who is active in the field of buying and selling. He buys and sells, and from this activity he earns his livelihood, but also gains capital and gold for the person who gave him not only the first capital for his business, but supported him in all his activities as well.

The good person who gave him his first venture capital does not control him daily, because he is long-suffering, knows how to wait, does not expect to see the result on the evening of the first appearance of the merchant in the market, but to realize how successful will the future be. In the end, if the merchant is clever and hard-working he will increase the capital that his master has lent to him.

But if the merchant who took the capital was wasting it into everyday nonsense, he would have nothing to give as interest to his master, but he is even in danger of starvation for lack of his daily food. The death of the merchant who did not honor the capital that the good gentleman entrusted him is absolutely certain, even if his shop was in St. Mark’s Square of the prosperous Venice.

With this unpredictable title for the series of messages about the relationship with our Creator, I want to direct our thinking not to the perfect appearance of an expensive car, but into the world of commercial values ​​that modern objects have.

Although the commercial values ​​of modern objects and treasures are not affected by our Great Master himself, however, he has changed the viewpoint of approaching the will of our Creator. The new perspective is not only the discovery and acquisition of treasures, but it is mainly the commercial profit that results from the trade of our treasures.

The trader does not win when he buys, because at that moment he takes money out of his wallet. He wins and has the profit when he sells the existing stocks of the items he trades. And to make a profit, hard work is required from the merchant, hard programming, and excellent knowledge of the market -the place where the traders gather, where there is fierce competition, where someone will present their merchandise and someone else will buy it.

The trader is not acting alone. He is not locked in his rich tower. He buys and sells, he gains from buying and selling, because if he stops doing this activity he will lose the tower and he himself will be destroyed.
