A butterfly flew in - pale blue with a thin black stripe, and somewhere near it behind the window a bee buzzed. What were these critters doing here? Had the winter sun confused them, or were they seeking to hide in the prison from the cold? The Winter Butterfly is a randomly resurrected creature. How did she escape death? And why did the bee leave her hive? What unconscious bravery - to come here! It's a good thing the guy in charge doesn't have wings, because otherwise he won't be alive for long.

В разказа се разкрива момент с пеперуда и пчела, които неочаквано се появяват през зимата. Пеперудата, бледосиня с черна ивица, изглежда е случайно оцеляла, докато пчеличката напуска своя уютен кошер. Тези същества предизвикват въпроси за тяхната смелост и причините, поради които са се оказали в такава среда, където зимното слънце създава заблудна надежда за живот.

Текстът ни кара да се замислим за живота и храбростта в лицето на неблагоприятни условия. Пеперудата и пчелата символизират стремежа за оцеляване и адаптация, но и рисковете, които поемат. Ситуацията е напомняне, че дори при заплашителни обстоятелства, има място за упоритост и борба. Отговорникът тук символизира авторитета, който контролира и може да потисне тази жизнена борба, но въпреки всичко, тези малки същества продължават да съществуват, търсейки своя път.

Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Power, time, gravity, love. The forces that really kick ass are all invisible.
