The weather is getting colder, you work alone in the big city, after a busy day, return to the small house you rented, but find that the home is colder, there is no parents to ask for warmth, there is no steaming meal.
Recently, the environment is not very good, the epidemic has caused a depression in many industries, and now the pressure of this job is a bit big, but it is already the third job you have changed in two years. When my parents are older, many things have always been good news and not bad news, and I silently bear the pressure of life.
If that's the case, check out The Little Prince, a book by the French writer Exupéry that has been voted the best book of the 20th century in France. It is not just a children's book, but also a philosophical novel full of wisdom. How many people use it to soothe their hearts and get inner peace, and how many people have understood the true meaning of life and rediscovered their original intentions.
"The Little Prince" tells the story of the little prince who ran away from the rose before coming to Earth, visited six planets, and met the king, the vanity, the drinker, the businessman, the lamp holder, and the geographer. These characters are controlled by their own desires and lose their inner peace and happiness. In the end, the little prince came to the earth, harvested the friendship of the fox, and understood the true meaning of life, so the little prince decided to go home and return to the rose.
There are many classic sentences in the book, such as: "You can only see things clearly if you look at things with your heart." Important things are invisible with the eye. Similarly, if you taste this book with your "heart," you will certainly be able to soothe your soul.
01 Philosophical story of "All adults were once children" - do not forget the original heart
When the little prince encountered an incomprehensible figure on the first six planets, his reaction was: "It is strange to be an adult." "So, officers, do you remember that you were once a child?"
I don't know if you have noticed that when we grow up, we are more and more like the unhappy characters in the book. We pursue power like kings, or we become vain, accustomed to putting a price on things like merchants, and often claim to know as much as geographers, but in fact we are just frogs at the bottom of the well. Sometimes we drink alcohol and paralyze ourselves, and we follow the stereotypes like lamplighters, repeating meaningless lives day after day. Forgetting that all we really need is a pool of clear water and a beautiful rose.
If you meet the little prince today, will you also become a "strange adult" in his eyes? How many people dreamed of being a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, and now we just want to earn money, buy a house, go to a big city, but are you happy? Can you still remember what your original intention was?
02 Philosophical Story of "What is the most precious thing in the world?" ”
—— Weak water three thousand only take a scoop
When the little prince saw the five thousand beautiful roses on the earth, he realized that although there were many roses in the world, my rose was more important than all of you combined, because I had watered her; because I had covered her with a glass cover; because I had shielded her from the wind; because I had destroyed caterpillars for her; because I had heard her complaints and boasts, and even sometimes listened to her silence.
The prototype of the rose in the book is actually the author's wife, and the author also went to work in the field after having an awkward quarrel with his wife. During the period of separation from his wife, he finally understood his true feelings, and also understood that what he cherished most was always his wife, and he had the above feeling about love.
When we were young, when we didn't have anything, we didn't hesitate to give; when we grew up, our appearance became more and more glamorous, and we saw more of the world, but we were stingy about giving time and affection. It is often something that has been paid, because with the payment, this thing will become unique and irreplaceable in your heart. The little prince understood: "Because she is my rose, the rose I cherish the most." "So, do you remember the rose you cherished the most?"
03 Philosophical Story: "I'd rather walk slowly toward a fountain of sweetness." ”
It would be better to slow down
There is a short chapter in the novel about a merchant selling thirst-quenching pills, people only need to eat one thirst-quenching pill a week, they no longer have to drink water, and save 53 minutes of time, and the little prince said that with this time I would rather slowly walk to a fountain of gan.
How many people in life would rather eat vitamin pills than eat a nutritious meal? How many people would rather work out in the gym than run in the sun? Everyone is in a hurry, and when they get convenience, they lose the original joy of life.
It used to take days to write a letter, but now an email is sent out in seconds. In a sense, it does save a lot of time. But have our days become easier? Every day at work, you receive dozens of emails, making it difficult for you to cope, busy like a top, where is the time to have the mood to slowly walk a little way to find a sweet spring, to sniff the flowers, to enjoy the beauty around you? Oh, we adults are so weird.
Although the book "The Little Prince" was written 80 years ago, it still feels like it has a lot of practical significance, in today's materialistic, fame-seeking world, people who are forced to grow up can occasionally stop their hurried steps, examine their hearts, and rediscover the things that are most precious to themselves, after all, we adults were once children.
