This is a story that I think it is very meaningful, and I translated it into English for sharing..
Once there was an island, where Happiness, Sadness, Love, and other emotions stayed together.
One day, there were rumors that the island will soon sink. So everyone started to build their own boats and prepared to leave the island, except for Love, who decided to stay.
After a few days, it seemed that the island will soon sink, Love was forced to leave.
Coincidentally, Wealth passed by with his huge cruise.
Love asked: Wealth, can you take me with you?
Wealth answered: Sorry, but my cruise is filled with golds and jewelries, and there is no place for you.
Then, Love saw Pride was lying on her beautiful yacht, sunbathing.
Love asked: Pride, can you help me?
Pride answered: You are soaking wet, what if you dirty my beautiful yacht. There is no space for you!
Love met Sadness after that.
Love begged: Sadness, please bring me with you.
Sadness answered: I am too sad, I need to spend some time alone. I don't want to bother you, Love.
And Sadness just walked away...
Not long after that, Happiness passed by Love. But he was too into his own happiness and he did not hear Love calling.
All of a sudden, there was a voice of an old man:
" Love! Come here! I'll take you with me!"
Love was too excited and forgot to ask the old man's name. After they reached the land, the old man left without saying good-bye.
Love was so grateful of the help from the old man, so she asked Wisdom:
"Who was the man who helped me just now?"
And Wisdom answered:"It's Time."
"Time? Why did he help me?" Asked Love.
Wisdom replied with a smile:"Because only Time, can truly understand the greatness of Love."
We will lose ourselves if we go for the extreme for everything in life.
We will easily indulge ourselves with pride when we own too much....We will think that we lost everything when we are too sad, and missed out the care and love that other people are giving...
Until time passes, then everything changed. Only true love can stand the test of time.
The true joy in life, is to know that LOVE exist~
