The essential is invisible to the eyes.

The little prince has given us many lessons, however there is one of them that is worth stopping. This is what it says: the essential is invisible to the eyes. How many things are overlooked because we give great importance to what we see? What escapes us by just seeing with the eyes, instead of with the heart. Let's enjoy this beautiful chapter of The Little Prince.

-Go to see the roses; You will understand that yours is unique in the world. You'll come back to say goodbye and I'll give you a secret.

The little prince went to see the roses he said:

-They are nothing, not at all resemble my rose. No one has tamed them, nor have you domesticated anyone. They are as the fox was before, which in no way differed from another hundred thousand foxes. But I made him my friend and now he is unique in the world.

The roses felt annoyed listening to the little prince, who continued telling them:

-They are very beautiful, but they are empty and no one would give their lives for you. Anyone who sees them can undoubtedly believe that my rose is the same as any of you. But she knows herself more important than all of them, because I have watered her, because it was her I covered with the lantern, because I killed the worms (except two or three that were made butterflies) and it is to her that I've heard complain, praise and sometimes even shut up. Because it's my rose, anyway.

And he came back with the fox.

The little prince with the fox

"Goodbye," he said.

"Goodbye," said the fox. Here is my secret, which can not be simpler: only with the heart can you see well; The essential is invisible to the eyes.

"The essential is invisible to the eyes," the little prince repeated to remember.

-What makes your rose more important, is the time you have lost with her.

-It's the time I've lost with her ... -the little prince repeated to remember it.
