The Little Prince


I remember reading this book when I was very young. Maybe 12 or 14. I didn't understand it much then but I cried towards the end. It really made me appreciate the relationship between the pilot and the little prince.

Yesterday, I can't think of anything better to do. So, I looked around the internet to read about any interesting topic. I commented on pictures, news etc. Then I remember the MJ memorial, one of the part I loved the most was the part where Brooke Shields compaired MJ to the Little Prince. (If I've been there, I would've made the same comparison), but this is no longer about MJ (Although I'll never stop loving him ever!!!). This is about The Little Prince and how he was so beautiful and how he was so pure and how we forget to see the beauty in things.

I loved that despite it's utmost simplicity it managed to be so intricate. It's a magical book that touches the little kid in all of us. We often see things the way "grown up" should see it. The book teaches us about learning to trust and to see the good in people, no matter how unlikely it is to see good in them. That is best seen in the part where that fox is tamed by the little prince. This book teaches us that love makes something or someone special. No matter how common it is, when you love it, when you commit yourself to it, it becomes special to you and you become special to it. Like the little rose in the prince's planet.

Most importantly, the book tells us that despite losing someone, we must always remember the beauty in them.
