The Tale of Love and Madness ;D ;D ;D
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,
Treason 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 despera te, 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."...
