Adults often focus on the trivial and miss the important from "summary" of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery,Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
In a world seen through the eyes of a child, a rose blooms with a beauty that transcends mere petals and thorns. The little prince cherishes his rose, not because she is unique, but because she is his. Yet, those who pass by often fail to notice her. They become entranced by the vastness of the universe, counting stars and measuring distances, but missing the warmth of affection that makes life meaningful. The businessman, consumed with his endless calculations, sees only numbers and profits. He forgets the joy of watching a sunset or the laughter of a child. To him, the essence of life is reduced to mere transactions, stripping away the colors of human connection. A geographer, too, neglects the beauty of a landscape, focusing only on the maps and figures that tell him nothing of the heart. These encounters reveal a stark contrast between the perspectives of children and adults. While the little prince travels from planet to planet, he seeks understanding and friendship, uncovering truths that often elude those entrenched in the mundane. He learns that what truly matters cannot be seen with the eyes but felt with the heart.- The importance of seeing beyond the superficial becomes evident. Each character embodies a lesson, a reminder that the essence of life lies not in what is counted or measured, but in the simple, profound moments that create love and connection. The little prince’s journey illustrates the beauty of recognizing what is essential, urging all to look beyond the horizon of material concerns and embrace the delicate petals of meaning that surround them.
