emotions went to a coastal
island for a vacation. According
to their nature, each was having
a good time. Suddenly, a warning
of an impending storm was
announced and everyone was
advised to evacuate the island.
The announcement caused
sudden panic. All rushed to their
boats. Even damaged boats were
quickly repaired and
commissioned for duty.
Yet, Love did not wish to flee
quickly. There was so much to
do. But as the clouds darkened,
Love realised it was time to
leave. Alas, there were no boats
to spare. Love looked around
with hope.
Just then Prosperity passed by
in a luxurious boat. Love
shouted, “Prosperity, could you
please take me in your boat?”
“No,” replied Prosperity, “my
boat is full of precious
possessions, gold and silver.
There is no place for you.”
A little later Vanity came by in a
beautiful boat. Again Love
shouted, “Could you help me,
Vanity? I am stranded and need
a lift. Please take me with you.”
Vanity responded haughtily, “No,
I cannot take you with me. My
boat will get soiled with your
muddy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some
time. Again, Love asked for help.
But it was to no avail. “No, I
cannot take you with me. I am so
sad. I want to be by myself.”
When Happiness passed by a few
minutes later, Love again called
for help. But Happiness was so
happy that it did not look
around, hardly concerned about
anyone.
Love was growing restless and
dejected. Just then somebody
called out, “Come Love, I will take
you with me.” Love did not know
who was being so magnanimous,
but jumped on to the boat,
greatly relieved that she would
reach a safe place.
On getting off the boat, Love
met Knowledge. Puzzled, Love
inquired, “Knowledge, do you
know who so generously gave
me a lift just when no one else
wished to help?”
Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that was
Time.”
“And why would Time stop to
pick me and take me to safety?”
Love wondered.
Knowledge smiled with deep
wisdom and replied, “Because
only Time knows your true
greatness and what you are
capable of. Only Love can bring
peace and great happiness in
this world.”
“The important message is that
when we are prosperous, we
overlook love. When we feel
important, we forget love. Even
in happiness and sorrow we
forget love. Only with time do we
realize the importance of love.
Why wait that long? Why not
make love a part of your life
today?”
