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

However, one day it was announced to everybody that the island would
sink, so 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
elderly person.

Love became very happy that he even forgot to ask the name of the
elderly person.  When they arrived to the other side, Love asked
Knowledge who the elderly person was.

"It was Time."

"Time? But why did Time help me?"

"Because only Time is capable of understanding such a great Love."

P.S:  Time is capable of solving anything.  Things today may not have
a solution but tomorrow you will find one! The time has come for us to
stop tuning separate instruments and, together, to create a symphony.
