Something to think about...
This is a really nice fwd I got...thought I should share.
>Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.
>
>One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was
>going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared
>their boats to leave.
>
>Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island
>paradise until the last possible moment.
>
>When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to
>leave.
>
>She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was
>passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you
>on your boat?" Richness answered, " I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver
>and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
>
>Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful
>vessel. Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please." "I can't help you",
>Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
>
>Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness, please let me go
>with you." Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone
>now." Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me
>with you." But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn't hear Love calling
>to him.
>
>Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you
>with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she
>forgot to ask the elder his name.
>
>When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how
>much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it
>that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help
>me when no one else would? Love asked.
>
>Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, "Because
>only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."
>
>The Facts of Life:
