Briefly digressing from politics, Putin ventured a philiosophical observation that "multifaceted" love is the basis of all actions and the essence of being.
"The meaning of our whole life and existence is love," Putin told his audience at the 15th Congress of the Russian Geographical Society. "It is love for the family, for the children, for the motherland. This is a multifaceted phenomenon; it lies at heart of any of our behaviors."
Putin, who chairs the board of trustees at the Russian Geographical Society, went on to express his hopes that "joint work" would help strengthen love for the motherland.
"It is exactly the top priority which all of us should go after, and I am absolutely sure that we will succeed," he added.
Putin has spoken at length about the necessity to attract more interest in geography among younger Russians, saying it "can and should be one of the most interesting subjects in school."
The president also suggested launching a National Geographical Quiz for testing knowledge in this field.
Correction on the comment: "Putin, a president with a heart and a man of conscious unlike many of our world leaders today."
I am willing to assert that Brother Putin is the only president in history to have a heart and conscience - to not be some kind of psycho/sociopath.
This is at least a double correction, because whoever wrote the original comment seems not to know the difference between 'conscious' and 'conscience'.
All animals are conscious (by definition, e.g. as distinct from inert objects like rocks) but only some have such attributes as having a conscience - thus sometimes feeling guilty.
Anyone who has ever lived closely with a dog knows that we and they share common attributes like guilt, compassion, love, loyalty and empathy, BUT all of this is absent in some humans, such that I once had a 'partner' for 18 years, against who I eventually exclaimed, "Oh my god. You are as cold as ice and hard as nails."
She replied, with a smile, "Of course. What else did you expect?"
Presumably the likes of Jen Psaki, Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, etc. are high level equivalents of the "rock" I lived with for 18 years.
I will leave at that, though I have many other thoughts on the matter of pure evil amongst our species ... mainly female in origin
