LOVE IS TO TAME AND TO BE TAMED


"It's lonely when you're among people, too." said the snake to the little prince. It might sound stupid or crazy, but maybe the little prince really exists, maybe for real, maybe only in some souls whose most of them belong to the ones of children and that probably becomes the reason why it's loney among people. There are some coffers of which a few wil never die down as the time goes by, things that exist in the eyes of a child. Sincerety, blamlessness, fairness, and the most of all, ability to love.
- Love is to tame and to be tamed- as the way of I take love. And as the fox cried to the little prince, it said "You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed". So how come people believe in the fact that crying when there are people around is something to be ashamed of? Are tears cursors of impurity? Is love something that makes us feel small? Why is everyone so far away from love when they think they are close to it? Why do they take love as an adventure of a few days? "Men have forgotten this truth" said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." This fow makes me wonder how many of us fee responsible for who we love? Not all, anymore, takes forever as forever when they say -forever-.
And another question is: How come things are so -in appearance-? "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye" gave the fox a big secret to the little prince by advising this. Yet, people judge with appearance, they now judge with what the eyes see. None really relies on their heart to make the right judgement. Moreover, judging people is ike the most popular activity of all times, none judges themselves. None has ever said it'd be easy, it is the hardest thing that a person can get through. Yes, "That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judger yoursef than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yoursef, it's because you're truly a wiseman." For what we would be living, if it was that simple to do the right. For some maybe it has been easy to lose some of the values. But, isn't anyone aware of that the life they live without those values is faker than all?
Meanwhile, who said "le petit prince" is a story that children should read? How many men are responsible for their women? How many of the men mean forever when they whisper forever? How many men believe that their women are the peerless? The little prince did... Because...
....the little prince sees hundreds of roses which looks just like the rose he had on his planet. He was dissapointed for he had thought that his rose was the only one in the whole universe, for he had believed that she was unique. Yet, after a while, he understood that his dissapointment was for nothing at all, because his rose was still his rose, the only one, still matchless. Thereof, he turned to face those hundreds of roses, to tell them: "You're lovely, but you're empty", he went on. "One couldn't die for you. Of course an ordinary passenger woud think my rose looked just ike you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than you altogether, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed caterpillars. Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose"
