To this day I don’t know why I didn’t like the French book Le Petit Prince.
Well, a translated one, since I don’t understand more French than the title.

It’s of course difficult to understand what I mean by “Like”, as everyone knows who used Social Media in the binary time when the only emoji for a post was “a like”.
A thumbs up.
This often lead to people also placing a comment, explaining the thumb did not mean they actually liked the sad event that had happened in the post.

Nowadays the response emojis are more diversified. A heart, a thumbs up, a sad emoji, and a link to the full menu of all other available emojis are now standard.
We no longer have to limit a quick response to “Like”.

When it comes to reading books or watching movies however, we’ve always had access to more words and to providing more context.
So when I say I didn’t like Le Petit Prince, let me preface that by saying I refrain from watching any form of drama.
I find drama overwhelming, notice it hardens me, and it seems to make me deeply cynical.

But I don’t recall Le Petit Prince being dramatic in the sense of reflecting the injustice of our societies, or the horrible things people do to each other.
Instead, the prince was the only person on his planet and he was terribly lonely.

Over time I did not change my opinion on the book (still no Like from me!) but I did get a little more eloquent as to why I did not like it.
Because I understood we are all just as alone as the Little Prince is.

According to the book description, the Prince ultimately ends up on Earth.
And I think he will make a great Earthling.

His heart is open to connect and it is so much bigger than ours.
It holds infinite space.

That ONE Book is the book I always think I own, until I realize it has not been written yet. So in December 2025 I started writing it myself.
I’m going for writing 365 chapters over the course of 9 years, and then bring it to print.
