When the pilot first met the prince, the little prince's request was to ask the pilot to help him draw a sheep. This behavior of the little prince may remind the pilot of his former dream of a painter. He did not immediately draw a sheep for the little prince. Instead, he drew his first work. The python that holds her belly. Maybe I want to try it again in my subconscious mind to see if anyone can understand the paintings I draw. Unexpectedly, the little prince's reaction was particularly strong, and he could see the elephant in the python's belly. This surprised me in my heart because the little prince was not the first to understand this painting. But the little prince still insisted on drawing a sheep.
When we read this, we may be curious, why does the little prince have to draw a sheep? In Chapter 7, we can finally see that the little prince wants to get a sheep, which is the purpose of a sheep that can eat small shrubs. Then the little prince can use sheep to clean up Baobab in time.
If and the number of bread represent toxic and harmful substances in our hearts. Then the existence of sheep can make such a toxic and harmful substance clean up in a timely and effective manner. Mianyang is actually a symbol of goodness or good deeds here.
But the little prince's problem continues. That day, he seemed to have been thinking for a long time, and then suddenly asked me in a daze: If a sheep can eat small shrubs, will they also eat flowers?
After getting my affirmative answer, the little prince fell into a conflict again.
If sheep represent goodness, then flowers represent beauty. But the question now is whether beauty and kindness are contradictory?
If sheep want to practice their own goodness, they must even eat beautiful flowers. If a beautiful flower wants to maintain its beauty, it must make itself grow sharp thorns to protect itself. So is it really good to clean the sheep in time to clean up the baobab trees? Similarly, in order to maintain one's own beautiful flowers, hurtful thorns grow to fight against the whole world. So is this flower still a truly beautiful flower? Is there pure beauty and pure goodness in this world?
I think the little prince must have been injured by a rose thorn in the early days of his time with the rose. But the little prince did not blame it, but the pain at his fingertips made the little prince unable to help but think about the issue of beauty and kindness. The little prince at this moment is actually the former St. Exuperi. When Saint Exuperi was young and innocent, he may have loved someone deeply and suffered emotional damage. Perhaps at that time, in order to escape from his inner pain, he chose to escape. But the price of escaping is to gradually desolate your heart. Perhaps it was at that time that Saint Exupéry abandoned his little prince. The price of abandoning the little prince is to gradually desolate your mind.
As long as the little prince is there, the war between sheep and flowers will always exist. Rather than saying that this is a war, it is a kind of harmony, a process that must be positive in a person's inner growth process. Escape from it and lost his little prince.
True goodness must be beautiful, and true beauty must be good. Goodness must be done, beauty must be judged. They must be paired with good verbs to avoid deterioration. Just like a two-wheeled bicycle, you won’t fall if you turn it. Otherwise, rigid and mechanical will naturally lead to a split state of the two.
