Hi friends.. lemme tell u a story.. i dont remember exactly from wher i got dis…mmm.. may be from Reader’s Digest ( i m not sure…..poor memory yaar.. itz been a long time since i’ve read dis!
)
I felt like it has something special.. so I thought of sharing dis wid u people too..’ve tried to put up the idea in my words as I don’t have any hardcopy of the story.. Anywayz.. u guys jus read dis.. n think for a while.. atleast…
Note Please :-
* It doesn’t have any heroes or heroines
* No Action
* No Humor
* No Romance
Still it has all the feelings…………………..…..
Confused huh..???
Jus read along…..
So… Here it starts……….
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived. Happiness.. Sadness…Vanity…Pride… Knowledge… and all of the others including Love .One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink. So all of them constructed boats and left. Except Love….!
Love was the only one who stayed back. He wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. But when the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by love in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There are lot of gold and silver in my boat. So there is no place for you.”
Then he 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, please let me go with you.” “Oh…….Love, I am so sad that I need to be myself! I am sorry dear…. ” Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she didn’t even hear when Love called her!
Love was hurted.. hurted to the core! He never thought that all other feelings; who were his fellowbeings; and who are supposed to be with him forever will leave him like this.. That too in such a desperate situation! Huh.. He felt like crying.. But couldn’t.. as the ‘mighty’ sadness has already left him!! By this time.. the island was totally under the sea.. and the poor love.. he closed his eyes.. and prepared himself to be in the coldness forever….yea… in the lap of death!
Suddenly, he heard a voice, “Come Love, I will take you.” It was an elder person. Love felt like he is blessed atlast.. He sailed along with the elder.. without any feelings or emotions! Love even forgot to ask the elder who is he.. & where they were going… When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way. Realizing how much he owned the elder, Love asked Knowledge; another elder who was already there;“Who helped me?” “It was time”, Knowledge answered “Time???!!! But why did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because…… only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is……’”

i read many article lyk ths earlier bt ths 1 s different…congrats saneeja for postin an article lyk ths……
mmm…
lemme quote bible….:)
1 corinthians 13:
1.If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2.If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3.If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4.Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
……………..
the whole chapter s abt love…

hi saneeja,
u have posted a good article. i have read many such articles. but this is different b’coz in every story it is love that runs it. here it is love that gets into trouble and true my friend it is time which is capable of understanding the value of any emotions in life.

love wanted to show his gratitude towards time, but the time passed! does he love the past? or present or going to be future?
