A "Love" Story
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink,
so all prepared their boats and left.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island
was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness
was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you
take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot
of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful
vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are
all wet and might damage my boat." Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go
with you." "Oh.... Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even
hear when Love called her!
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an
elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the
elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went
his own way.
Love realized how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge,
another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled
with deep wisdom and answered, "Because, only Time is capable of
understanding how great Love is."
