Summary

This quote suggests that despite the presence of numerous romantic relationships or connections, genuine love may be lacking. It likens people to birds of the mind, who flit from one romantic interest to another impulsively, and chameleons of the heart, who change their emotions or affections frequently. The quote highlights the idea that these superficial or fleeting connections often lack deep emotional attachment or true love. It implies a critique of modern relationships, indicating that many may be driven by temporary attractions rather than authentic love and emotional connection.

I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I'm a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I've always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.
