Wow! This is such a previous read! The language weaving so delicately yet firmly the absurdities of mortal life with that of the simple purity of a curious kind little prince! The entire time my mind was working on two levels- what my eyes were seeing and reading, the story, and what was hidden behind the words, the meaning, the essence that became invisible if I focused too much on the matters of consequences!! Loved it! A definite re-read!!
The simplicity and the complexity clashing and dancing. I loved the use of the language. My imagination flew with the descriptions and I felt really moved (*spoiler*) when the little prince had to go back to his planet by asking the snake to bite him.
One of my life principle (I read the little Prince in German): "man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut!" free translation in English: you can only see good things with your heart.
I have been trying to focus on good things in other people ever since. Try not to judge others or force others to accept my opinions, try to first consider about other's people point of view (wear someone's shoes) before protesting / commenting.
Life can be better if we consider the thoughts of the little prince! I am not asking for legitimation of what he said, just a simple open-minded and tolerance about any different opinion.
actually the story was just simple but the philosophical application in every story that the prince was telling was full of common sense that sometimes people take for granted or they are missing it.
