On one hand, there's today's political culture, and on the other, this diaryreading it, you can't escape this comparison.
And this is the diary's very simple, yet decisive achievement.
As you leaf through its pages, you find yourself in a world of wonder: can politicians even be like this?
Can someone active in politics even think about the sufferings of squirrels, ants, and birds?
And not only do they think, but they also, with genuine concern, record their sufferings on the pages of their diary.
Both those who diligently read the newspaper daily and those who, bored by the headlines, may be surprised to learn that the author of this diary doesn't miss political activism even while in prison.
In fact, despite having created significant waves in the mainstream with his rebellious attitude, he longs to be a painter in his prison cell.
He wishes a paintbrush were his tool!
Sitting in that very room, he shudders at the cruel practice of hanging, mourns the helplessness of prisoners, and is also angry and saddened by his friends who change their masks over time.
All these are the lines of a portrait of a deeply sensitive man, who even hides his physical so as not to disturb the prison staff!
Such a sensitive person does not fit the frame of a "leader," which has become the "image" of a leader in the public consciousness.
But within the pages of this diary, that man is safewith all his empathy,, and sufferingfor those suffering, who, despite the country's abundant resources, are doomed to a life of suffering.
And that is why this diary is a special work, worth reading and collecting.
