Spiritual values

Once upon a time there was an island on Earth where all spiritual values ​​lived.
But once they noticed how the island began to go under water. All valuables boarded their ships and sailed away.

Only Love remained on the island. She waited until the last, but when there was nothing to wait, she also wanted to sail off the island. Then she called the Wealth and asked to come to him on the ship, but the Wealth answered:
- On my ship a lot of jewels and gold, for you there is no place.

When the ship sailed past the Grief, she asked for it, but she answered her:
- Sorry, Love, I'm so sad that I have to always be alone.

Then Love saw the Pride ship and asked her for help, but she said that Love would break the harmony on her ship.

Joy floated nearby, but she was so busy with fun that she didn’t even hear about the calls of Love.

Then Love is completely desperate.

But suddenly she heard a voice, somewhere behind:
- Come love, I'll take you with me.

Love turned and saw an old man. He drove her to the land and, when the old man swam away, Love caught on, because she forgot to ask his name.

Then she turned to Cognition:
- Tell, Knowledge, who saved me? Who was this old man?
Cognition looked at love:
- It was time.
- Time? - Love asked. “But why did it save me?”

Knowledge once again looked at Love, and then looked into the distance, where the elder sailed:
- Because only Time knows how important Love is in life.
