-"The Little Prince" reading notes

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of skin tissue, and its nucleus has disappeared. It is transparent and has almost no water. Composed of dead cells, it is a barrier to maintain the internal and external environment.

The little prince observes the adult world with his clear eyes, but he still can't understand, such as rights, such as self-righteousness, such as greed, such as indifference ... how much he is like us in childhood, so pure and beautiful but fragile. Maybe we are all little princes, just like we are all Peter Pan, but we have given up magic and grown up. As I grow up, my mind gradually learns to protect itself, learn to fight for rights, become self-righteous, greedy for money, and become indifferent to people ... Soft, pure and beautiful, with horny skin, it can protect it from harm.

In the process of growing up, people will always find that the real world is so different from the world we imagined. The real world is much more cruel and not beautiful. We wanted to change, but it was too difficult, so we gave up. We wanted to fight it, but it was too difficult, so we put up with it. Growth is to compromise with the real society again and again, and every compromise is a growth. Finally, I grew up. One day when I accidentally opened the little prince, I was shocked. My heart grew thick keratin in this compromise, only to find that the price of growing up was that I no longer had the soft and innocent heart of the little prince.

The Little Prince is not a children's book. It just writes profound truth in children's language to awaken the hearts of adults hidden under the horny skin. The author wrote in "To Leon Wilder" before the story began, "I ask the children to forgive me for giving this book to an adult. I would like to dedicate this book to this adult in my childhood. " The original natural reader of fairy tales was a child, but the author dedicated him to an adult. Why? Because it is really a book for adults, a book with children's simple minds as a reference to remind them not to get lost, a beautiful book that only "adults" can really understand and appreciate. Here, the author clearly divides the readers of The Little Prince. Of course, children will be interested in some of these elements, such as its funny cartoons, its personification and its simple language. And the protagonist is from another planet, but the children's hearts are only simple, instead of indulging in the secular and returning to the original simplicity. They don't understand the mental journey and inner structure of adults yet, so they can't read this book. And its real charm lies in that it is like a mirror, a magical mirror, which only adults who have lost their childlike innocence can use. It will show you that your heart is becoming lustful. At this time, adults who have lost their childlike innocence can understand the story of the little prince, the author's writing intention, the author's helplessness and sadness in losing the little prince, and the power to continue to live.

What is holding us back from the thick cutin on the brain?

intelligence

At the beginning of the story, the author wrote: "I showed my masterpiece to adults and asked them if my painting scared them." They answered me, "What's so terrible about a hat?" What I drew was not a hat, but a python digesting an elephant. So I drew a picture of the belly of a python for adults to understand. But the little prince saw it at a glance: "No! Don't! I don't want an elephant with a python's ass. A python, it's too dangerous. An elephant takes up too much space. "The little prince has amazing psychic coma. "I" was tired of watching it, so I drew him a square box perfunctory, saying that the sheep were inside and the little man was laughing. He can really "see" the sheep inside! I'll never see it again. This is the difference between adults and children. From this contrast, children are smarter and more knowledgeable creatures, and they seem to be born with intuitive vision. With the growth of age, our "spiritual hole" is gradually blocked. We always ask our children to "explain everything to them over and over again", but they still don't understand it, and they are self-righteous and reprimand people. Really stubborn.

pure

The little prince takes love, beauty and poetry as the value center. Love, beauty and poetry are only accompanied by innocence, which is not in the secular and utilitarian values of the adult world.

Because the little prince was innocent and mixed with any utilitarian purpose, the geographer of a certain planet asked him to tell about his planet and said, "I still have a flower." The geographer said, "We don't catalog flowers." The little prince's answer is: "Why? Flowers are the most beautiful! " In his eyes, things are only "beautiful" and "not beautiful", not "useful" and "useless". Naivety made him have a completely different concept from adults about what is "serious" and what is "not serious". He has a sharp sneer at those "decent people". "I have been to a planet where there is a red-faced gentleman. He has never smelled flowers. Never seen the stars. Never loved anyone. I have done nothing except addition. Repeatedly saying that I like you all day:' I am a serious person! "I am a serious person," proud and pretentious. But he's not human, he's a mushroom! "Ha ha, how well the author writes. People who lose their innocence and only pursue utility are no longer people, but mushrooms. The little prince's serious business every day is to clean his planet, water his roses and watch the sunset when he is depressed. But adults dream of money, power and honor all day. They are pursuing these things, but they don't know what to do. But when I think about it, is there anything more valuable in life than love, beauty and poetry? Is there anything better than enjoying the stars, spring and daily work? How unwise it is for adults to forget the simplest and most authentic enjoyment in life in their busy lives! They are "people who don't understand life" and people who don't have correct value judgments. As a passage in the book says, they are people who feel nothing but numbers. " For example, if you say to adults,' I see a beautiful red brick house with geraniums in front of the window and pigeons on the roof ... they can't imagine what the house looks like. If you say,' I see a house worth100000 francs. They will say,' How beautiful! "People who have no feelings for anything other than numbers are actually people who have lost their innocence.

stubborn

The little prince is persistent, and will not stop until he gets an answer after asking questions. It is mentioned many times in the book, and it seems that the author has also noticed this. This persistence was obvious when we were all children. Almost every child "asks to the end", but many adults don't like such children very much, because they are troubled by too many questions. In fact, sometimes adults are annoyed because they don't know the answer to their children's questions, but it will be humiliating to say "I don't know" directly, showing impatience and making children silent. I encountered such a thing when I was a child. After many times, I gradually became less persistent, but I was unexpectedly praised by adults. They think I'm beginning to understand. I think giving up persistence is the beginning of my becoming a human being.

love

Love is the greatest miracle God has given mankind, because it is love that makes this cruel world tolerable. But we often waste this miracle, often get lost in love, and often hurt others in the name of love, just like the rose that the little prince loves.

On the little prince's planet, a rose appeared out of nowhere. One morning, just as the sun rose, she opened the door. She prepared for such a long time, but yawned and said, "I just woke up." I'm really sorry. Look, my hair is still in a mess ... "The little prince could no longer control his admiration. "You are so beautiful!" The flower said leisurely, "Yes, I was born at the same time as the sun …" The little prince saw that the flower was not modest, but she was really beautiful. Then she said, "It's time for breakfast. Please prepare some for me ... "The little prince was very embarrassed, so he took the watering can and brought a basin of clear cold water to water the flowers. So, in this way, this flower tortured the little prince with her sensitive and suspicious vanity. For example, one day, she told the little prince about her four thorns: "tiger, let it open its claws!" " "The little prince praised her:" There are no tigers on my planet, and tigers don't eat grass. The flower whispered, "I am not a grass." . ""I'm sorry. " "I'm not afraid of tigers, but I hate touliu. You have no screen? " The little prince thought, "I hate percolation ... it's really unlucky for a plant." This flower is really hard to serve ... ""You have to protect me at night. Your place is too cold. I don't live well here, where I used to live ... "But she didn't go on. She appeared in the form of seeds. Where has she seen other worlds? She was found to have fabricated such a clumsy lie. She was a little ashamed and angry and coughed two or three times. Her action is to put the little prince in a negligent position. She said, "Where is the screen?" "I'll get it. But what you said just now was … "So the flowers coughed a few times, which made the little prince regret his mistake. Although the little prince really liked the flower, he immediately became suspicious of her. The little prince took some unimportant words too seriously, and as a result, he was very upset. The above words in this paragraph are copied from The Little Prince. This rose is like a calculating woman, using her weakness and beauty as a weapon to ask for endless love and pity. The little prince was conquered by her. "I shouldn't have listened to her," said the little prince. I shouldn't have listened to this flower Just look at this flower and smell it. "My flowers make my planet fragrant, but I won't enjoy it. About Tiger Claw, it should have made me sympathize, but it annoyed me ... ""I didn't know anything at that time! I should judge her by her behavior, not by her words. She makes my life fragrant and colorful. I really shouldn't have run out without her. I should have guessed the warmth behind her poor little trick. How contradictory flowers are! I am too young to love her. "

"Goodbye." He said to the flowers. But the flowers didn't answer him. "Goodbye." He said it again. The flowers coughed for a while. But not because of a cold. She finally said to him, "I was really stupid just now." Please forgive me. I hope you can be happy. To his surprise, the flowers didn't complain to him at all. He stood there at a loss and held up the cover. He couldn't understand why she was so gentle and quiet. "Indeed, I love you. "The flower said to him," But because of my fault, you didn't pay attention. "It doesn't matter at all. However, you are as stupid as me. I hope you can be happy in the future. Put the cover aside, I don't need it anymore. " "What if the wind comes?" "My cold is not that bad ... the cool breeze at night is good for me. I am a flower. " "If there are bugs and beasts? ""If I want to know about butterflies, I can't stand two or three inchworms. It is said that this is beautiful. Who else will come to see me? You're going to fly away. As for big animals, I'm not afraid. I have claws. " So she naively showed off her four thorns and said, "Don't dawdle so much. How annoying! Now that you have decided to leave here, go! " She was afraid that the little prince would see her cry. She is a very proud flower ... (The above words are taken from The Little Prince) Rose loves the little prince, but it hurts him. When a heart wrapped in keratin expresses its love, it will always encounter such misunderstandings.

Spirituality, innocence, persistence and love are the most beautiful things in the world, but the thick cutin in our hearts blocks them in our hearts and makes us poor.

The travel of The Little Prince on the planet and the earth shows that the poor without these beautiful things are possessed and lost in the secular life. On the way, the little prince met the king, self-righteous people, drunkards, businessmen, lamplighters, geographers and so on. So that people around us, from the point of view of the little prince on another planet, magnified their absurdity and absurdity, and had a strong shock because of exaggeration. who the hell are all these people？ Power fantasy, self-worship, dream of making money, indulging in it, blindly loyal to their duties, dogmatism, in the words of the little prince, "adults really don't have the rule of law." With disappointment and curiosity, the little prince came to the "famous" earth. What is the concept of the earth? The article introduces: "The earth is an extraordinary planet! There are 1 1 1 kings (of course, don't forget black kings), 7,000 geographers, 900,000 businessmen, 7.5 million drunkards and 3. 1 1 100 million vain people, which means almost 2 billion adults. " From the foregoing description, we know that such an introduction is tantamount to saying that the earth is a terrible "concentration camp for freaks". This work goes on to write two earthlings. A seller of thirst-quenching pills advertised that taking one pill could save "53 minutes" without drinking water for a week. This is a wonderful irony for all scientific and technological inventions on our planet, because all inventions are working in the direction of high efficiency and time saving, but the little prince asked, "What's the use of saving these 53 minutes?" The man said, "Suit yourself …" The little prince said, "If I save these 53 minutes, I will walk leisurely to a well …" This is an interesting cycle. He reminded us that some scientific and technological inventions run counter to human nature and human fitness. The conversation between the little prince and the switchman is equally interesting. To the little prince's surprise, what are these travelers looking for? What are they chasing? The switchman said he didn't know what they were looking for or what they were chasing. Blind passengers, blind haste, isn't this a very profound symbol? Don't people who come to the Taoist world come and go in such a hurry? After reading this, I think the author's description of all beings is quite sympathetic. In fact, even when he wrote the image of the power fantasy king, he was never cruel and mean, but humorous, gentle and sympathetic. As the little prince said, "You people here planted 5,000 roses in a garden, but you still can't find what you are looking for." "They are crowded in the express car, but they don't know what to look for. So restless, round and round ... "Isn't our life often like the lives of strange and poor people like the little prince quoted by the author in the book?

We, separated from our soft heart by the thick stratum corneum, can't hear the advice from the heart, so we go further and further on the road of utility, farther and farther away from real life. What we pursue is often unattainable. I'm just fooling myself.

What is the secret of a happy life? The author pointed out one of them to us.

When the little prince saw that there were more than 5,000 almost identical roses in the blooming garden, and they were all similar to his roses, the mystery of love reached its climax. He was so sad that he cried. Then the big fox came and let the little prince tame him. He said that "domestication" is to build feelings and establish emotional ties. Before domestication, "you are just a boy to me, just like thousands of boys." I don't need you. You don't need me. I am just a fox to you, no different from thousands of foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. You are the only one for me in this world, and I am the only one for you in this world ... "The little prince understands that roses are unique and precious because she domesticated them, so" one flower is more precious than a garden full of 5,000 flowers ". This is really a great discovery. Why do we love a person because he or she is more beautiful, richer and better than others? In the eyes of ordinary people, the person you love is really ordinary; Similarly, the reason why we are loved is not because we are excellent, but because we have established a unique "domestication" relationship. Our giving and giving are unique and irreplaceable. The fox also said poetically that he was not interested in wheat because he didn't eat bread. But after the little prince tamed him, it was different. He likes the sound of the wind blowing through the wheat fields, because the color of wheat is Huang Chengcheng's, just like the little prince's hair. This really loves me, my dog and the whole world. Everything in the world related to the person you love can cause happy reverie.

We should learn from the domestication of foxes. In the face of love, we are most likely to wear off the inner horniness for many years, show our essential side, show our soft heart and bravely embrace life. In the pursuit of real life, you may find that a heart without horniness is less likely to get hurt, because happiness has been guarding it.
