The Little Prince is my life's book; don't you think its lessons are so wonderful?
In The Little Prince, he treats his rose so well because he thinks she is the only one of her kind.
But when he arrives on Earth and discovers there are thousands of roses,
he falls into despair, thinking,
"Ah, so roses aren't unique. They aren't even that special."
However, after befriending the fox and experiencing their parting,
he realizes,
"Ah, that fox was just a fox originally, but he became special because we became friends. My rose was the same way."
"That rose is still the only one of her kind."
"It is because of the time I have spent on her."
I loved that scene of realization.
So, in the end,
it's the same for us, isn't it?
There are many people who are wealthy, beautiful, and so on,
but that isn't what makes them great.
When we pour our time into someone,
that is when they finally become precious to us,
and that is what matters.
Ultimately, we all carry the potential to become special.
Not everyone can become rich or powerful,
but we can all become a one-of-a-kind existence.
Isn't that the important message?
