In "The Little Prince," Antoine de Saint-Exupéry explores the theme of self-awareness and wisdom. He suggests that it's often easier for people to evaluate others than to reflect honestly on themselves. Achieving self-judgment reflects true wisdom, marking a deeper understanding of one's own nature and decisions.

The author emphasizes that genuine happiness comes from appreciating life’s simple pleasures rather than accumulating material possessions. By encouraging us to be more observant, he reminds readers that fulfillment is accessible to everyone if they are willing to look beyond the surface and recognize the beauty that surrounds them.
