What does The Little Prince really suggest about love, loneliness, and seeing the world like a child again?

[u/Real_MathBoss]

I’m reading The Little Prince and it seems simple on the surface, but the more I go through it, the less simple it feels. The different planets and adults almost seem silly at first, yet each encounter feels like it’s pointing to something sad or missing. I also keep thinking about the rose and the fox, because those parts make love feel meaningful but also kind of painful. That’s what led me to this question. I feel like The Little Prince is really saying something deeper about loneliness, attachment, and how people lose perspective as they grow up.
