Reading The Little P

The Little Prince is never merely a fairy tale, but a wake-up call for every adult. Traveling across planets, the little prince meets a power-hungry king, a businessman obsessed with counting, and a lamplighter stuck in rigid rules. Eventually, he learns from the rose and the fox on Earth: "What is essential is invisible to the eye; one must see with the heart." The book’s take on the "taming" agreement and the interpretation of "uniqueness" hold the most precious bond between people—just like the little prince and his rose. Though she is delicate and arrogant, he cherishes her as the only one in the universe because he has invested his time and tenderness. Hidden in those simple dialogues is the power to resist the impetuosity of the world, reminding us never to lose the innocence in our hearts and the ability to perceive beauty.
