Please don't shoot, but I never liked this book. Neither when I was a kid, nor now that I am an adult. 
 It always made me sad and frustrated. 
 I mean I can understand why everyone loves the book. 
 There is a little princess in it. He travels, has experiences and learns the truths of life. And the book is deeply philosophical and a fairytale at the same time. 
 So even a child can understand. So even an adult can connect with the story. 
 But I never had the romantic obsession of being a child forever. 
 But I never believed that adults are lacking imagination and they are boring. 
 But I always thought that maturity can set you free, can make you understand and appreciate. 
 I did not like the messages of this book. 
 I never understood the loneliness that a single rose can bring ( "It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important" ). 
 I did not understand why the fox has to be left alone and sad in the end ( "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" ). 
 Why the snake has to bite the prince? It freaked me out when I was a kid and read it. 
 I don't want to question love and friendship. I believe in those. 
 I believe in beautiful things. 
 I believe in feelings that don't make you sad. I believe in the bright sun. 
 I believe in large spaces and fresh air that doesn't make you claustrophobic. 
 I believe that emotions are beautiful and strong and they can make you feel alive. 
 I don't believe that they leave a bitter taste in the end. 
 I don't believe in the syrupy philosophy.
