i guess kids and adults hold very much differing views about life. Sometimes, they see much more through theri innocent eyes as they aren't as caught up with life as we are :)
I had not heard of the Little Prince and was rather surprised at how much was communicated through simplicity. I know the little ones view us (adults) with some misgivings and every year i pray and ask for divine help in winning their love and trust, gaining their confidence in me, hoping they will belief in me - for i don't think i can achieve all by myself. harjit
We need to shift our mental models to see a different perspective. Just like kids, think like them...perhaps we will be able to appreciate why they are what they are right now. We have long forgotten about the days when we were much younger. Too far away? They can be as close as we want them to be, I think.
However, nobody likes changes because it can be so 'disruptive'...hmm...sounds so familiar (Ha ha!) Anyway, life changes and the only constant is change itself. We can't grow if we never change at all. There is always a time for all to adjust to changes in life, so do I. At least, there is a hope for a better tomorrow.
