If we don't travel around the world, we won't know what our spiritual and emotional sustenance is, but once we travel around the world, we find that we can never go back to that beautiful place. When we start to seek, we have already lost, and if we don’t start to seek, we have no way of knowing that everything around us is so valuable.
The little prince is us, and so are the roses. I have to go out and travel, and meet a king who likes to be aloof. No matter who is with him, he always treats others as his subjects; I have experienced the treacherous and vicious Mr. Snake, and I understand that I will be hurt when I touch some things; I have experienced the little fox, and I understand that I can like many good people, but liking is not love.
