SWeEt sToRy~

WeE~ just received this.... thought that this is a very sweet story... extremely touching and true... Although it's like a fantasy but come to think about it, it does reflect the different sides of a human being. It shows the emotional struggles that we face in life... something very personal and only ourselves know it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story of "how love is blind" came about...

A long time ago, before the world was created and
humans set foot on it for the first time, virtues
and vices floated around and were bored, not
knowing what to do.

One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered
together and were more bored than ever. Suddenly,
Ingenious came up with an idea: Let's play hide
and seek!

All of them liked the idea and immediately
Madness shouted: I want to count, I want to
count! And since nobody was crazy enough to want
to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness
leaned against a tree and started to count: One,
two, three...

As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went
hiding. Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the
moon, Reason hid in a pile of garbage. Fondness
curled up between the clouds and Passion went to
the center of the earth. Lie said that it would
hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the
lake, whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended
up breaking. And Madness continued to count: ...
seventy nine, eighty, eighty one...

By this time, all the vices and virtues were
already hidden - except Love. For undecided as
Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And
this should not surprise us, because we all know
how difficult it is to hide Love.

Madness: ...ninety five, ninety six, ninety
seven... Just when Madness got to one hundred,
Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid.

And Madness turned around and shouted: I'm
coming, I'm coming!

As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first
to be found, because Laziness had no energy to
hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in the horn of
the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and
Passion at the center of the earth. One by one,
Madness found them all - except Love.

Madness was getting desperate, unable to find
Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness:
You only need to find Love, and Love is hiding in
the rose bush.

Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed
wildly at the rose bush. Madness stabbed and
stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop.
Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his
face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two
trickles of blood from his eyes.

Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out
Love's eyes with a pitch fork. What have I done!
What have I done! Madness shouted. I have left
you blind! How can I repair it?

And Love answered: You cannot repair my eyes. But
if you want to do something for me, you can be my
guide.

And so it came about that from that day on, Love
is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.

...There are some people who meet that somebody
that they can never stop loving...there are some
love that don't go away...but we should all be
lucky to end up with that somebody who has a
little of that insanity. Somebody who never lets
go. Somebody who cherishes you forever.
