Aoristos: The Time of Erotic Allure

In an article titled "Aoristos: The Time of Erotic Allure," the author reflects on erotic allure and the challenges of relationships in modern society. The author refers to Malvina Karali and her views on love, as well as a conversation overheard on a bus in Nicosia.

The conversation concerns a young girl, Toula, who is facing problems in her relationship. Her friend, who is wiser, advises her to distance herself if the relationship causes sadness instead of joy. The author comments that the emotional problems of teenagers resemble skyscrapers that have not yet been built, but were once called "life," "hope," and "light."

The article also mentions the disappointment of young people in Cyprus and their desire to emigrate for a better future. It quotes a phrase by Eleni Glykatzi-Arveler about crisis as an opportunity for rebirth. The author also shares a personal experience, mentioning that the trigger for reconstruction after difficulties was often an erotic spark.

In closing, the author advises Toula to make her mistakes, so that she learns that loves are born to die and that they are not little angels, but a "demonic nuisance."
