Love and 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 they all prepared their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to stay until it started sinking.
When Love was almost sinking, he decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a beautiful 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, "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you Love. You are all wet and can probably damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh...Love, I am so sad that I prefer to go alone!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not listen when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder.

Love became so happy that he even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went on her own way.

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, the name of the elder who had helped him.
"It was Time," answered Knowledge.
"Time? But why did Time help me?" asked Love.
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is," answered Knowledge.

Salam. Although exams are going on, i m not keeping away from occasional blogging.. well, just putting up some mails which are coming up my way, and which i thought were nice enough to share. AND PLEASE don't think me getting into lovey dovey jobs by posting this "LOVE" related mail. It sounded nice and I thought we would be able to get some lesson from it. And after all, is there anyone out there who denies the fact that LOVE is totally HARAM to be a topic to be discussed/posted? Raise your voice please... and don't forget to let me know what lesson you got from this. Take care u all, and pray for me.
