A STORY TO MAKE YOU THINK !
Once upon a time there was an
island where all the feelings lived;
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge,
and all the others……, including
Love. One day it was announced
to all of the feelings that the island
was going to sink to the bottom
of the ocean. So all the feelings
prepared their boats to leave.
Love was the only one that stayed.
She wanted to preserve the island
until the last possible moment.
When the island was almost totally
under, Love decided it was time to
leave.She began looking for
someone to ask for help. Just
then Riches was passing by in a
grand boat. Love asked, “Riches,
Can I come with you on your
boat?”Riches answered, “I’m
sorry, but there is a lot of silver
and gold on my boat and there
would be no room for you.”Then
Love decided to ask Vanity for
help who was passing in a
beautiful vessel. Love cried
out,”Vanity, help me please.” I
can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You
are all wet and will damage my
beautiful boat.”Next, Love saw
Sadness passing by. Love said,
“Sadness, please let me go with
you.” Sadness answered, “Love,
I’m sorry, but, I just need to be
alone now.”Then, Love saw
Happiness. Love cried
out,”Happiness, please take me
with you.” But Happiness was so
overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love
calling to him. Love began to
cry.Then, she heard a voice say,
“Come Love, I will take you with
me.” It was an elder. Love felt so
blessed and overjoyed that she
forgot to ask the elder his name.
When they arrived on land the
elder went on his way. Love
realized how much she owed the
elder. Love then found Knowledge
and asked, “Who was it that
helped me?” “It was Time”,
Knowledge answered. “But why
did Time help me when no one
else would?”, Love asked.
Knowledge smiled and with deep
wisdom and sincerity, answered,
“Because only Time is capable of
understanding how great Love is.
Only Time can tell who truly loves
U… I L♥√ع U̶̲̥̅̊ all…
