The Little Prince: Rediscover Your Inner Child

The Little Prince was never just a fairy tale for children; it is more like a mirror, reflecting the original intentions every adult hides beneath the "rules of the adult world." With the simplest words, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry captures the "importance" that adults struggle to understand: the time the Little Prince devotes to a single rose makes it unique in the entire universe; the fox teaches him the true meaning of "taming"—not possession, but mutual need and growing together. Those conversations adults dismiss as "useless" precisely strike at what we most easily lose: we are always chasing numbers (wealth, age, achievements), yet forget to feel the bloom of a flower, the tenderness of a sunset, or the weight of companionship. Closing the book, one always remembers: we were once children who felt sad just to watch 44 sunsets in a day. But later, on the path of "growing up," we accidentally left behind the truth that "one sees clearly only with the heart" somewhere on a planet’s sand dunes. The significance of The Little Prince is to help us retrieve it, reminding us: no matter how far we go, never lose the part of ourselves that once felt a flutter for a single rose.
