A man crashes in the desert and meets the little prince. Through his pictures and stories, the man learns about the important things in life - like love and friends.
The true essence of life: “Your heart sees the important things in life, but your eyes don’t see them.” As we age, life tends to be occupied by the things someone can easily see (e.g., money, work, reputation) and lacks what we cannot physically touch. The little story is a fantastic reminder of how adults bind themselves with a narrow view of the world. In fact, it is easier to make ourselves “busy” and list the reasons not to do it. But busy for what? We already have (and can do) more than we think, and the key may have been right in front of us since a long time ago.
