- “You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed,” wrote Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in “The Little Prince”. Once we cherish our deliberative democracy values that in turn attract people from other parts of the world to migrate, we become responsible for their being here with us. Don‘t they become our friends and family members, maybe younger ones, and from that moment they are unique for us? Let‘s discuss the being-on-the-same-boat with young immigrants while finding inspiration for the discussion from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s “The Little Prince”.
