Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all others were including Love.

One day it announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to preserve until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand 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 for you."

Richness was passing by Love in a grand 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 for you."

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

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

Suddenly, there was a voice, Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she even forgot to ask the elder her name.

When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Love realizing how much she owed the elder asked knowledge, another elder, "who helped me?"

"It was time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. “But why did Time help me?".

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Love is understanding, Love is compromise, Love is generosity,Love does not discriminate, Love is forgiveness, and Love is pure and sacred,Love is truth and everything good. Love is selfless and undemanding; giving and not expecting in return.Love is Service, Love is Sacrifice.

Love While You Live

Realize things before it’s too late.
Have lots of friends before you are alone.
Accept things rather than deny them.
Love people before you loose them.

Life comes just once.
Love it while you live it.

If we cannot love the person whom we see, how can we love God whom we cannot see? Mother Teresa
