Motive and Consequence - the Greeks didn't say No to the Euro

It's worth noting that the "No" vote was not a No to Europe or the Euro.

Some of the Greeks I've spoken to expressed concern before and after the referendum that this was how the vote would be interpreted. Many of the articles I've read in the non-Greek press have interpreted it this way.

Ok, given the high risk that Greece does end up leaving the Eurozone, it would be naive to completely separate the two. However, the majority of Greeks voted No to further austerity measures, acknowledging, yet not necessarily desiring, that the consequence could well be exit from the Eurozone.

I think it's important to differentiate between motive and consequence. Especially as politicians have a field day mixing the two of them up.

You wouldn't need to go back even a year to have found me swearing I would never be writing this post. I certainly wouldn't have expected to be not only writing it but writing it on a mobile.
Of course, it was all out of ignorance, and a little bit of hard-headedness. My only exposure to Instagram was witnessing the inevitable death of creativity as it succumbed to retro-style filters and selfies and photos of feet on beaches. The idea of owning a smart phone almost literally made me vomit. Why were people paying large amounts of money to effectively isolate themselves from the world around them? (note: in many ways, this point still stands)
Having said all this, there had always been a sticking point for me; I had quickly got tired of carrying my chunky DSLR camera around everywhere and was therefore frustrated that I never had it on me. I'm not talking about going on safari. I'm talking about popping down the shops for bread and spotting something interesting about the peeling paint on the florists' walls.
