There was once an island inhabited by all the emotions and all the human feelings that exist. They lived, of course, Fear, Wisdom, Love, Anguish, Envy, Hate ... Everyone was there.
Despite the natural friction of living together, life was very quiet and even predictable. Sometimes the Boredom Routine to fall asleep, or Impulse arming some scandal, but often the Constancia and desirable to allay the discontent.
One day, unexpectedly for all the inhabitants of the island, called Knowledge meeting. When Distraction is aware and gave Sloth arrived at the scene of the meeting, all were present.
Then, Knowledge said
"I have bad news for them: The island is sinking.
All emotions that lived on the island said:
- No, how can it be! If we live here forever!
repeated Knowledge:
"The island is sinking.
- It can not be! Maybe you're wrong!
"Knowledge is almost never wrong," said Conscience realizing the truth. If he says that it sinks, it must be because it sinks.
- But what do we do now? "They asked each other.
Then, Knowledge answered
"Of course, everyone can do whatever he wants, but I suggest you seek ways to leave the island ... Build a ship, boat, raft or something that allows them to leave because the stay at the island will disappear with it.
- Can not you help us? "Asked everyone, because they were confident in their ability.
"No," Knowledge, "the forecast and I have built an airplane and upon termination of saying that we will fly to the nearest island.
Emotions said
- No! But no! What will become of us?
said, the knowledge he got on the plane with his partner and, carrying a stowaway to fear that, as is not goofy and had jumped into the engine, left the island.
All the emotions, in fact, is about building a boat, a boat, a sailboat ... All ... Love
except
For Love was so related to everything on the island who said
-Leaving this island ... after all that I lived here ... How could I leave this tree, for example? Ahh ... we share so many things ...
And while emotions were engaged to produce the means to leave, Love went to each tree, smell every rose, went to the beach and rolled in the sand as it once did in the past. Touched each stone ... and patted each branch ...
Upon reaching the beach, exactly where the sun rose, her favorite place, did think this simplicity that has the love
"Maybe the island is sinking for a while ... and then re-emerge ... Why not? "
And stayed for days by measuring the height of the tide to check the sinking process was reversible ...
The island is sinking more and more ... However
, Love could not think of building because it was so sore that he could only mourn and groan and you will lose.
then occurred to him that the island was great, and even when it sank a little, always he could take refuge in the most high ...
Anything was better than having to leave. A small resignation had never been a problem for him.
So, once again, touched the stones of the shore ... and crawled through the sand ... and again got his feet wet in the small beach that was once great ...
Then, without realizing much of his resignation, he walked toward the north of the island, but was not what he liked most, was the highest ...
And the island is sinking every day a little more ...
And Love took refuge each day in a smaller space ...
-After so many things we spent together ... "I criticized the island.
Until, finally, there was only a tiny portion of firm ground, the rest were completely covered by water. Just
Love then realized that the island really was sinking. He understood that without leaving the island, love gone forever from the face of the Earth ...
Walking through flooded trails and jumping huge puddles of water, Love went to the bay.
There were no possibilities to construct an all out like he had lost too much time denying that mourn lost and thus removing some a little before his eyes.
From there I could see their colleagues go on boats. I was hoping to explain his situation and that some of his teammates understand and take him.
eyes Looking into the sea, the boat was coming Wealth and waved. Wealth came a little to the bay.
-Wealth, you've got a big boat, do not you take me to the neighboring island? I suffered both the loss of this island could not build a boat ...
And Wealth replied
"I'm so loaded with money, jewels and precious stones, I have no place for you, sorry ... "And walked on without looking back.
Love stared, and saw the vanity come in a beautiful boat, full of frills, fringes, marbles and small flowers of all colors. Called a lot of attention.
Love stretched a little and shouted:
- Vanity ... Vanity ... take me with you!
Vanity Love looked at him and said:
"I'd take you, but ... Have a look! ... You're so ugly ... so dirty and so scruffy! ... Sorry, but I think afearÃas my boat - and left.
And so Love asked for help from each of the emotions. And to perseverance, to Sensuality, jealousy, outrage and even to hate. And when nobody thought it would happen, he saw a boat approaching very small, the last, the sadness.
-sadness, sister, "he said," you know me well, you do not leave me here, are as sensitive as me ... Will you take me with you?
And Sadness answered
"I'd take, I assure you, but I'm sooo sad ... I prefer to be alone, and without another word, walked away.
And Love, poor thing, she realized that have been linked to those things he loved, the island would sink into the sea to disappear.
then sat on the last bit was left of their island to wait for the final ...
Suddenly, Love heard someone joke-
-CHST CHST CHST-...
old man who was a stranger beckoned from a rowboat.
Love was surprised
- Me? He asked, taking a hand to his chest.
"Yes, yes," said the old man, "to you. Come with me, get on my boat and paddle me, I will save thee.
Love looked at him and tried to explain:
"What happened was that I stayed ...
"I understand," said the old man without letting him finish the sentence-ups.
Love got into the boat and together they began to paddle to get away from the island.
It was not long before we see how the last inch that remained afloat finished the island sink and disappear forever.
-never again be an island like this, "muttered the Love, perhaps hoping that contradicted what the old man and gave him some hope.
"No," said the old man like this, ever.
When they reached the neighboring island, Love knew he was still alive. He realized that he would follow exist.
turned on his feet to thank the old man, but he, without saying a word, had gone as mysteriously as it had appeared.
Then, Love, intrigued, went in search of wisdom to ask:
- How can it be? I do not know him and he saved me ... All others did not understand that I had run out of boat, but he helped me, he saved me and I do not even know who he is ...
Wisdom looked into his eyes long and said
"He's the one who always is able to get the love survive when the pain of a loss led to believe that it is impossible to follow. The only one capable of giving a new chance at love when it seems extinct. The one who saved you, Love is Time.
