Love & Time
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 constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, 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, "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. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realising how much was owed the elder, Love 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 valuable Love is."
Our best friend Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself. It rejoices over the evil and is a truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life, it enhances relationships and comforts the soul. We are all searching for the true meaning of love, we learn from its abundance and lack thereof. We understand how extremely crucial it is to have in our lives and how grateful we are to be able to express and receive it. But what is fascinating about love is that it's the slowest of all growths. No person really knows what perfect love is until they have experienced it from a single relationship over a period of time. Love is fully embraced by time and as in the above story "Time understands how valuable Love is", because without the one the other would cease to exist. 'Time' is a companion that goes with us on every journey and it is our job to make sure that we always bring love along. Cherish each moment, love every single individual who has made an impact in your life, because that moment might never come again. "What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived…"
May you have an awesome week
