Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and
all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so
all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold
out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, 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 here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "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. So blessed and overjoyed,
Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went
her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love 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 valuable Love is.
CINTA DAN WAKTU
Suatu hari, terdapat sebuah pulau dimana semua perasaan tinggal: Kebahagiaan, Kesedihan,
Pengetahuan, dan semuanya, termasuk Cinta. Suatu hari mereka mendengar pengumuman bahwa
pulau itu akan tenggelam, jadi semua membuat perahu dan pergi. Kecuali cinta. Hanya cinta yang
tetap tinggal. Cinta ingin tetap tinggal sampai detik-detik terakhir. Ketika pulaunya hampir tenggelam,
Cinta memutuskan untuk meminta pertolongan.
Kekayaan berlayar melewati Cinta dengan sebuah perahu besar. Cinta berkata, “Kekayaan, bisakah
kamu menolong aku?”
Kekayaan menjawab, “Tidak bisa. Ada banyak emas dan perak di perahu. Tidak ada tempat untukmu
di sini.”
Cinta memutuskan untuk meminta bantuan pada Kesombongan yang berlayar dengan kapal yang
indah. “Kesombongan!Tolong aku!” teriak Cinta.
“Aku tidak bisa membantumu, Cinta. Tubuhmu basah kuyup dan dapat merusak kapalku!” sahut
Kesombongan.
Kesedihan berada sangat dekat dengan Cinta, sehingga Cinta bertanya, “Kesedihan, biarkan aku ikut
ke dalam kapalmu.”
“Oh, Cinta, aku sangat sedih jadi aku butuh waktu untuk sendiri.”
Kebahagiaan berlayar melewati Cinta, namun ia sangat bahagia sehingga tidak mendengar
panggilan Cinta.
Tiba-tiba, ada sebuah suara, “Cinta kemarilah, aku akan membawamu pergi.” itu adalah suara
seorang tetua. Cinta merasa sangat terberkati dan terlampau bahagia sehingga lupa menanyakan
kemana mereka akan pergi. Ketika mereka tiba di sebuah pulau, tetua itu pergi. Mengetahui betapa
Cinta berhutang budi padanya, Cinta bertanya pada Pengetahuan, seorang tetua lainnya,
“Siapakah yang menolongku tadi?”
“Itu adalah Waktu,” jawab Pengetahuan.
“Waktu?” tanya Cinta. “Tapi, kenapa Waktu menolongku?”
Pengetahuan tersenyum dengan bijak dan menjawab, “Karena hanya Waktu yang mampu mengerti
betapa berarti dan bernilainya Cinta.”
Dear Positive readers,
This week we would like to share you a story about Love and Time.
Most people said that love is the most precious thing in life, yet sometimes we put love aside when we feel that we have everything or have greater things.
As time goes by, only time will help us to understand what love is.
Love is a timeless source as our fuel in every step of our life, let’s share it sincerely, giving it without any reason, and caring for people without any expectation.
May you all be inspired and happy weekend….
Warm Regards Dx Wira 101
