Why wait to enjoy the most important part of your life?
Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation. According to their nature, each was having a good time. Suddenly, the weather service announced an impending storm.
Everyone had to leave the island.
This announcement caused panic, and everyone rushed to boats to evacuate the island.
But Love had too much to do and needed to wait to leave. However, the clouds darkened and Love realized it was time to leave. By that time, though, there were no boats to take Love off the island.
Love looked around, hoping to find someone to take him off the island.
Prosperity passed by in a luxury boat. Love shouted, “Prosperity, could you please take me in your boat?”
“No, my boat is full of precious possessions, gold and silver. There is no place for you in my boat.”
Next Vanity came by in a beautiful boat. Again, love shouted, “Could you help me, Vanity? I am stranded and need a lift. Please take me with you!”
With a haughty response, Vanity answered, “No, I cannot take you with me. My boat will get soiled with your muddy feet. Wait for another boat!”
Then Sorrow passed by in his boat. Again, Love asked for help. Sorrow replied that he was too sad and wanted to be alone.
When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it did not look around.
Love was growing restless and worried.
Just then someone called out, “Come, Love, I will take you with me”. Love did not know who was being so kind but eagerly jumped on the boat, relieved that she would reach safety before the storm hit.
As she got off the boat, Love met knowledge. Curious, Love inquired, “Knowledge, do you know who so kindly gave me a lift just when no one else would help me?”
Smiling, Knowledge replied, “Oh, that was Time.”
“Why would Time stop to pick me up and take me to safety?” Love wondered.
With deep wisdom, Knowledge smiled and replied, “Because only Time knows your true greatness and what you are capable of. Only Love can bring peace and happiness in this world.”

When we are prosperous and feel important, we make love wait. Even in happiness and sorrow, we wait to include love in our lives. Only with Time do we remember the importance of Love.
