The baobabs that the little prince was talking about were actually viruses. They started out by being little, invisible and sleep deep in the heart of the cell’s darkness, until someone among them is seized with the desire to awaken. If it is good, one would let it grow wherever it might wish, but if it is bad, one must destroy it as soon as possible the very first instant that one recognizes it. Just like baobabs, you will never be able to get rid of it if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire place and if the place is too small, and they are too many, they split your cell in pieces. There is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day but when it is a matter of baobabs (or viruses), that always mean a catastrophe.
