This is a small excerpt from the beautiful novella \u201cThe Little Prince\u201d written by the French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry. “The Little Prince” is a philosophical and allegorical tale  that explores themes of innocence, friendship, the loss of childhood wonder, and the challenges of growing up in a complex world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here in this short conversation between the merchant and the little prince, the writer captures a very deep truth. \u201cMind\u201d is a weak tool of man but he has been made to believe that it is with the mind he would be able to emerge as the strongest. He gets trapped in his own narratives. His mind plays with him making his life rather meaningless. \u201cMind\u201d makes him restless and eventually strips him off even the simple joys of life. Lost in the illusion of self-worth, he is unable to see the world like a child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wisdom of the little prince comes from his unadulterated heart that truly appreciates each and every moment of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
