How many types of men do you think exist in this world? Have you read ”The little Prince” by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry? Do not suffice to the cartoon you watched, this book is a ”must read”!
I think there are 7 types of
men.
The little Prince is traveling through the universe, he
leaves his own planet where he had a Red Rose that he cared for and watered
everyday. Day by day he grew feelings for the flower without realizing and when
he left, he couldn’t stop thinking about her.
On his journey he goes to 6 different Asteroid and on each
one he meets a man!
1. A king , to whom all men are subjects, he reigns the
stars and he orders!
2. A conceited man to whom all men are admirer and, he only
hears praise! He wants to be applauded for.
3. A tippler who drinks to forget! And the little Prince
asks to forget what? He says that he is ashamed.
4. A businessman who is always working and calculating,
concerned with” matters of consequence”
as he says it. He believes he owns the stars. He doesn’t want to waste his
time.
5. A lamplighter who is ordered to do so, he lights the lamp
at night and turns it off in the morning. He is so tired of his work and all he
wants is to sleep!
6. A geographer who
is a scholar. He knows the location of all the rivers and mountains but he is
not an explorer!
Can you identify some of these types with the men you have
met? I am thinking actually that might be it!
Unless the guy develops spiritual qualities in himself, if
his Being doesn’t develop more than his Human side, he is one of the boring guys of the
story, regardless of him being a king, a scholar or a well achieved businessman.
The little Prince asks the geographer which place do you
advice me to go? He says ” The planet Earth, it has a good reputation ”!
The little Prince leaves thinking about his red flower.
If you have read the story who do you associate yourself
with? Have you met the Prince? Are you hanging out with a King? A proud/spoiled
man? An addict? A workaholic? A man with a simple job but a good friend? Or a
scholar?
And in your story are you the Red Rose? The fox who begged the little Prince to tame him?
Have you ever been
tamed? Did he know after he tamed you he is responsible for you? Or he wasn’t a
Prince to know this?
Deep down in my being I want to believe that we women are
Roses!
