The Enlightenment from the Little Prince

Recently been reading a book titled The Little Prince

Have long been heard of ppl mentioning the little prince

but dont really know about the story

so when i saw this book in the Leo Bookstore at Island Plaza

i bought it home :)

And now, im in love with this book 

it somehow reflected the something in me

or should i say, 'they matched'.

It was saying, 

the grown-ups love to see things from the surface n judge from the outside.

They see only tangible things

the intangible one was always being neglected

n it was usually the most precious one.

For instance, 

when you tell them that you have made a new fren

they never ask you questions about the essential matters such as

"What does his voice sound like?"

"What games does he love best?"

"Does he collect butterflies?"

Instead,

they asked: "How old is he?"

"How many brothers has he?"

"How tall is he?"

that is what differentiate the grown-ups and the kids

the grown-ups loves figures

they think they can only learn something about the person from these figures

If you were say to the grown-ups:

"I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, french windows, and doves on the roof"

they would not get any idea of the house at all.

You'd have to say:

"I saw a house that cost 3million!"

then they'd claim: 

"Wow, what a pretty house that is!"

I realised

The older we become, the more 'ordinary' we are

we have to be submissive in order to fit in the society

following the rules...the regulations...the norms...even the thought

proving 'we are the same' in order to get their approval

and so we wont be alienated

Many was born to be musicians and artists

they had so much talent when they were kids

but ended up grown up into such an 'ordinary' working group

struggling to be someone who they think they 'should be'

working from 9 to 5

repeating the same thing everyday

doing things they don't even like or enjoy doing

living paycheck to paycheck

months to months

years to years 

n called it a 'life'

Is that what life really should be?

If yes, how boring it is!

is that reli what they want?

do they reli feeling happy?

wouldnt they regret for not brave enough in pursuing their dreams when they gonna past?

is staying in the comfort zone reli feels comfort n happy?

Since they struggled so much n do not feel happy at all

why dont they just pursue their dreams n do something they reli enjoy doing?

wat is the reason stopping them from pursuing their dreams?

The answer is always the same

because of MONEY

they claimed:

"DREAMS and REALITY are always not the same"

"DREAMS cant feed our stomach"

But the problem is,

i dont see many who followed the ordinary path really success financially

many are still complaining about 'not enough'

living in debt

dreaming to be a millionaire

If to say

the consequence of pursuing own dream is the worst

unfortunately,

i dont see following the ordinary path has any better than worst.

In light of this,

why dont we just pursue our own dream since both has almost-the-same-worst risk?

What do you think? :)
