Venus's blog: "This and That..."

It is said, that a long time ago there was an island. And on this island lived all the Feelings and Human Values: Happiness, Sadness, Wisdom... and like all others Love.


One day it was announced to the Feelings that the island was about to sink so they all prepared their boats to leave.

Only Love remained til the very last minute.


When the island was at its point of sinking, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness passed by Love in a luxurious boat.
Love said:

"Richness, can you take me with you?"
"No I can't, said Richness. Because I have a lot of gold and silver on my boat and I have no room for you.
"

Then Love decided to ask Ego for help as he was passing by in a gorgeous boat.


"Ego, can you please take me with you?"
"I can't help you Love, said Ego. Here everything is perfect and you might break my boat.
"

Then Love begged Sadness:

"Sadness, please let me come with you!"
"Oh Love, said Sadness, I am so sad I must remain alone.
"

Even Happiness passed by Love, but she was to content to even hear that she was needed.


All of a sudden a voice said:
"Come with me Love, I will take you.
"
It was the voice of an old man.


Love felt so happy that she forgot to ask the old man who he was.

The moment they arrived on shore, the old man left.


Love realized how much she owed the old man so she asked Knowledge:

"Can you tell me who helped me?"

"It was Time replied Knowledge.
"

"Time? asked Love.
Why Time?"
Knowledge, filled with wisdom replied:

"Because only Time is capable to understand how important Love is in someone's life"
