In High School I read a book in French class called Le Petit Prince
by Antoine De Saint-Exupéry. It was a children’s book written for
adults about a little boy who leaves his planet to see what the
rest of the universe is like. He visits six asteroids, each one
with a single occupant whose actions seem absurd to the boy. When he goes to Earth he is amazed to discover that there are billions of these absurd beings. The story reveals the absurdities of the way we live revealing lessons on caring for the environment, love of one another, responsibility for what we “tame,” and appreciation for what we have. I was amazed at how much could be said in the simplest sentences.

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour
les yeux." ("It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye.")

You give little when you have little, and you give more when you
have more. If we can inspire everyone to live this way, we would
all have a lot more! It starts with caring for the environment.
