  • We Finns are a proud people. And for good reason. For centuries we have fought off all kinds of invaders, from near and far, from east and west. Armies with hundredfold the amount of soldiers have not been a threat to us in the past.
    Our beautiful country has plenty of natural resources; forest, ore, fresh water and blueberries, only to name a few. So it is understandable that other nations want to expand into our pristine environments. But I doubt that has been the primary reason for expansion. There must be another reaon.
    The only conclusion I have come to is that the foreign invaders have tried to occupy the tenacity and strength we Finns have, to obtain what we call Sisu. But they have failed to understand (time after time) that the sisu, as a lion, cannot be occupied and contained, at least not in it’s pure form and essence.
    So even if we don’t have any (wild) lions in Finland, the strength and courage of a lion is something we all carry with us. You can admire it, get inspired by it, learn from it, but you cannot acquire it.

    In that listen of tracking the source of the Suomileijona, the Lion of Finland, should be mentioned also the biblical sources:
    Especially the Psalms speak of the might of his strengthened right arm. That he is the Lion of Judah. The Lion has a crown to show his Heavenly kingship, which points to Messiah, the Christ.
    And he will trample his enemy under his feet (to the dust). The enemy is Satan, the great liar. He has crooked ways, while the ways of the Lord are straight - notice the swords.

    Finlands Coat of Arms should feature the best finish hockey player of all time, Leo Komarov

    We have the coat of arms where a guy also tries to stab his head with the sword while riding on the horseback. No wonder he misses. Despite this we succeded even more (actually way more) in suicide than Finns. To speak fairly we ranked higher before but still manage to hold fourth place in the world. (We are the winners, we are the winners...) ok this is not Eurovison and it's nothing to be proud of.
