Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation. According to their nature, each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of an impending storm was announced and everyone was advised to evacuate the island.
The announcement caused sudden panic. All rushed to their boats. Even damaged boats were quickly repaired and commissioned for duty.
Yet, Love did not wish to flee quickly. There was so much to do. But as the clouds darkened, Love realised it was time to leave. Alas, there were no boats to spare. Love looked around with hope.
Just then Prosperity passed by in a luxurious boat. Love shouted, “Prosperity, could you please take me in your boat?”
“No,” replied Prosperity, “my boat is full of precious possessions, gold and silver. There is no place for you.”
A little later Vanity came by in a beautiful boat. Again Love shouted, “Could you help me, Vanity? I am stranded and need a lift. Please take me with you.”
Vanity responded haughtily, “No, I cannot take you with me. My boat will get soiled with your muddy feet.”
Sorrow passed by after some time. Again, Love asked for help. But it was to no avail. “No, I cannot take you with me. I am so sad. I want to be by myself.”
When Happiness passed by a few minutes later, Love again called for help. But Happiness was so happy that it did not look around, hardly concerned about anyone.
Love was growing restless and dejected. Just then somebody called out, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” Love did not know who was being so magnanimous, but jumped on to the boat, greatly relieved that she would reach a safe place.
On getting off the boat, Love met Knowledge. Puzzled, Love inquired, “Knowledge, do you know who so generously gave me a lift just when no one else wished to help?”
Knowledge smiled, “Oh, that was Time.”
“And why would Time stop to pick me and take me to safety?” Love wondered.
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and replied, “Because only Time knows your true greatness and what you are capable of. Only Love can bring peace and great happiness in this world.”
“The important message is that when we are prosperous, we overlook love. When we feel important, we forget love. Even in happiness and sorrow we forget love. Only with time do we realize the importance of love. Why wait that long? Why not make love a part of your life today?”

The most important and great thing is love…
It’s really a very nice story which reflects the true things that people often realizes love with time. They should not overlook it.
So wonderful story, I like this love story very much…..
Heart touching story….It’s superb, awesummm… Luv is life.. Hope people of the world understand the value of love on time…
Love is not only between people… love is what parents show toward their precious children.
Love is the thing that God shows toward you. Love is that of a small kid shows toward you.
LOVE is in many forms…. but it is expressed with the help of TIME.
Very nice moral. God bless the writer.
Amazing Creativity…!!! Awesome…!!!
Excellent story.

Eh? Am I the only one here that notices…”Once upon a time all feelings and emotions went to a coastal island for a vacation.”
Time and knowledge are not feelings and they sure as hell ain’t emotions.

I never forget love, however he tends to forget me.
Yes, love waits for time. If it comes true, fruitful life.

Hey guys, it’s a poem name “The Golden Boat” (1894)
written by – “Rabindranath Tagore” (Winner of the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature)
Another great masterpiece…
Very nice!
I love you, my world….
Superb story.
Nice 🙂 ♥
“that time is only capable understanding what love is :)”
So interesting, I like it very much.
Love is within us and everywhere but mostly we ignore it… Many people used the word “love” (just a word, merely word) to express it, hope everyone would learned how to show true love..
It’s superb and well said… love is great.
Hi all, I have read this story and also the comments from so many of you, I would like to tell that love is great but causes pain if we fail to get it just because we may have choosen the wrong person to love (who may not even worth or love).
One universal lover is GOD and mother who cares for our love. GOD’S love, mother’s love is the true love so please always go for it! and one more thing: “love them who love you to be happy in your life”
Love is life… nice.
Yea, with love, anything is possible! Love u.
Yes! LOVE is always there waiting for us to let it in into oneself, yet we mislook it by the circumstances from the environment that our minds are looking for a temporary lives not knowing that LIFE is too short to waste. So take back the TIME being wasted. LOVE like you’ve never been hurt before and live a LIFE like its your last chance….God bless
Awesome story…
It’s really tooo goooooood……….. hey love, I love you……
A very deep imagination of value and perfection. Good one !!! loved it. 🙂
Good story, need to think importance of love in life…..
In my perspective, here love means God that these days most of people forgot him completely and it is better you know if you have love in pleasure situation. You can make more masterpieces and in hard situation love acts like miracle. Thanks a lot for your Marvellous story.
Respected love always but got rejected n refused.
Hope people of the world understand the value of love……..
Time is so kind, all the questions you have from the past and today about why everything is happening to you esp. when you get depressed? will be answered sooner or later. All we have to do is to wait.
Too meaningfull this story about life.. Our feelings express, how to expands life with love..
It’s really lovely one about love, I like it.
100% true.. A true love is always alone until Time proves it.
Very interesting….but what happens when yur hurt by love? How do u love then?
Wow this story makes me share tears. I really like it.
In our daily life, it’s coming many times that we start liking someone..but..with time that liking comes to the love and with much time it turns to true love..only time can tell you the difference of liking to love and love to true love..and when you’ll get your true love..it’s like you find God….love is the most most precious thing in one’s life.
Very interesting story…..
I like the story. I am taking this for my son’s story telling competition.
The story was nice, it gave us a lesson that only love can cultivate peace and happiness in our soul 🙂
Love is the most beautiful gift which a human being can enjoy. Because to love is nothing, to be loved is something. To love and to be loved is everything……….
Enjoy that gift to love and to be loved….because force can make everyhting possible in this world but it cannot create a single drop of love in anyone’s heart.
It is really a true story, I really like it.
Love is life
Love is immortal…
Simply loved it 🙂
Love is eternal….
I like this story.. I learnt how important the love is.
Love thy neighbour.
I chose love even if every person refuses it.
It’s true that love is a great feeling and nothing can beat love but when one is ditched this is the one which gives more pain.
Love is the only force can truly convert an enemy in to a friend…
Yeah, it’s true!! Only time can teach us the value of love…
Nicely said….Thanks.
Very good
We memorize this in our school activity =)
The story is good for reading but the true fact is that love only goes who are lucky enough to get it. Sometimes it only gives pain…..
So prefer not to wish for a thing which you know that it cannot be yours!!!
hmm… reminds me of Khalil Gibran’s work.. really beautiful..
Nice story.
A nice story..very well said..
What a nice story. LOVE moved us as always. . .
Bitter reality is LOVE is always left alone …………. ITs given importance only and untill its not be KNOWN …..
Thank you very much for this awesome story…LOVE is indeed the greatest commandment of all….
Nice_onE! 😀
Obviously true! I like this story very much.
Beautiful…….loved it!
I really love this story. Now i have known what i never knew in my whole life, thanks.
