With trigger the literature of Nikos Kazantzakis, Mrs. Despina Balliou* gave a lecture in IANOS in Athens on the 11th of January 2018 entitled «A lump of mud is every one of us ... What is our debt?».
The works of N. Kazantzakis have been hiding many issues always relevant to this day and Mrs. Balliou, for the specific lecture, took inspiration mainly from “Ascesis: The Saviors of God” where she distinguished concepts such as responsibility, commitment, self-awareness and "authentic life".
As expected, the many dimensions that the above concepts can conceal have unfolded and the subject took life through the interventions of the attendees. Through this constructive dialogue Mrs. Balliou left everyone to give his personal answer to the question «A lump of mud is every one of us ... What is our debt?»...
