On the Political Science of Love

The article is a philosophical exploration of the concept of love, both in its personal and political dimension. The author starts from the experience of his mother with her garden, where love and care were the secret to success, and extends to the need for love and compassion in human life. Love is linked to vulnerability, tenderness, and the beauty of pain. In the context of Cyprus, love for the homeland becomes an issue of identity and existential substance, especially after the Turkish invasion and occupation. Politics is considered a field for testing personal virtue and requires scientific vision. The author emphasizes the need to overcome the grief for the lost past and lead Cyprus to a resurrection future. Memory and the preservation of values are vital for maintaining identity and truth. Love for the homeland is not just a feeling, but a commitment to preserving memory and truth. Poets are considered guardians of truth, as they save the memory of the human face. 'I will not forget' is not just a phrase, but a confession of faith in the values and history of Cyprus.
