My review
“One sees clearly only with the
heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.” I love this book a lot.
Everyone in the world has a childhood, just like The Little Prince. We all had
pure mind, and we were curious about everything we saw.
We
have grown into an adult, but we also have lost our pure mind. We learned to be
complicated and forgot our original happiness. Unconsciously, we became The
King, The Vain Man, The Drunkard, The Businessman, The Lamplighter, or The
Geographer. We should learn to treasure what we have, keep pure mind, and live
in content.
