The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince) is a novella written and illustrated by French aristocrat, writer, and military pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

The story follows a young prince who visits various planets, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children's book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults, and human nature.

“It may well be that this man is absurd. But he is not so absurd as the king, the conceited man, the businessman, and the tippler. For at least his work has some meaning. When he lights his street lamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower. When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep. That is a beautiful occupation. And since it is beautiful, it is truly useful.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

The only reason to do anything is to create a more beautiful world. We were born to create the good, the true and the sacred: that’s is our soul’s mission, and when we’re not performing it we grow uncomfortable. Most people don’t know the origin of their soul’s discomfort only because the modern world is constantly tempting us to forget the mission.

Our greatest power in any situation is to remember who we are and why we came here. Without that, we’re stumbling in the dark of randomness and meaninglessness with no light to guide us. That applies not only to an individual but to a collective as well. A nation as well as an individual represents a ray of light from a great philosophical sun. A nation’s ray refers to the larger mission of that country, the greater vision that guides it. “Where there is no vision the people perish. “

If the purpose of our lives is to expand the meaning and purpose not only of our individual existence but also that of our nation, people, religion, and species, then we need to rise to meet the challenges of that purpose. Enough with the woundedness, the perverse comfort zone of personal limitation, the pathologizing of every little thing, the victimization, the obsession with trauma - all of which can begin with genuine desire for understanding but then spin out of control with a personal attachment to dark drama. Anything that involves only our individual self at a certain point becomes a darkened glass through which we cannot see.

One of the ways we heal ourselves is by showing up in whatever way we can to help heal others. We can live our lives in service to a larger goal than just our own. We can participate in a great creative drama involved in asking not only “How do I heal and where do I go next?” but also “How do we heal and where do we go next?” We are incomplete in any moment that we stay confined to consideration only of the individual self. The meaning of this moment is expansion beyond that. That’s when we find comfort. And that’s when we’ll find peace.

*Rules to be Human*

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The” failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. “There” is no better place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

LOVE IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER🥰

I was reading an article by one of my favorite writers, Robert Koehler, and he said things are so bad he’s tempted to fall by a state he calls “giveuptitude.” And who can’t relate? One day it’s a state government wanting to prosecute librarians who knowingly or unknowingly show a child a book that has a s*x scene in it! Another day some kid loses a limb working at a factory that chose to ignore child labor laws. On another day the Alabama Supreme Court declares that embryos have the rights of children, making it exceedingly difficult for prospective parents to get IVF treatments. On another day you see a graph of all the cities planning for Cop Cities of their own.

Then there’s the prospect of Trump versus Biden again, which apparently only a few people want but which has pretty much been thrust upon us - at least on the Democratic side. I’m still deciding whether to unsuspend my campaign, but I won’t bore you with the complicated details involved in making that decision. I feel I’m waiting for some large words to appear in the Sky with Diamonds, making clear what I’m supposed to do. Oprah Winfrey once said to me, “Don’t do anything unless every part of you says ‘Yes.’”

In the meantime, I know we must not give up on creating a more beautiful world. Despite the wars, despite the injustices, despite the pain and fear and the woundings of the heart, we must not give up. An old Rabbinical saying puts it this way: “You are not expected to complete the task, but neither are you permitted to abandon it.” We are here to repair the world (tikkun olam), and that cannot be a directive we take seriously only when it feels like we’re getting there. We must hold each other up and push each other forward. We must not give in to giveuptitude.
