Have you read Le Petit Prince, also known as The Little Prince? This book is the one of the best-selling books of all time, and for a good reason.
While the surface of the story is deceptively simple, there is a deeper meaning when you read between the lines. Famed pilot and author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote this sweet story about a young prince who finds himself on this planet after leaving his own little planet. His journey includes other planets inhabited by individuals living with their own sense of purpose, some of which are deemed odd by the young prince. When he lands on Earth, he befriends a stranded pilot in the desert. These details seem disconnected, but I am not doing the story justice. You have to read it for yourself.
Just try not to get tears in your eyes when the prince laments his treatment of the rose he left behind. Look at the story as a reminder of taking care of what you love, even when it's a bit challenging at times.
