Why love is blind
A LONG time ago, before the
world was created and humans
could set foot on it, virtues
and vices floated around, not
quite knowing what to do. One
day, all of them were gathered
together, and feeling more bored
than ever.
Suddenly, Ingenious came up with
an idea: "Let's play
hide-and-seek!" Everyone liked
the idea and immediately,
Madness shouted: "I want to
count, I want to count!"
Since nobody was crazy enough to
want to seek Madness, all the
others agreed. Madness leaned
against a tree and started
counting, "One, two, three ..."
As Madness counted, the vices
and virtues ran off to look for
places in which to hide.
Tenderness hung itself on the
horn of the moon, while Treason
hid in a pile of garbage.
Fondness curled up between the
clouds and Passion went to the
centre of the earth.
Lie said that it would hide
under a stone, but hid at the
bottom of the lake instead,
whilst Avarice entered a sack
that he ended up breaking.
Madness continued to shout out:
"... 79, 80, 81..." By then, all
the vices and virtues were well
hidden, except for Love. Fickle
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 counted, "... 95, 96, 97
..."
Just when he got to 100, Love
jumped into a rose bush. Madness
turned around and shouted: "I'm
coming, I'm coming!"
Laziness was the first to be
found, because he did not have
the energy to hide. Then Madness
spotted Tenderness in the horn
of the moon, Lie at the bottom
of the lake, and Passion at the
centre of the earth.
One by one, Madness found them
all, except for Love. He was
getting desperate. Envious of
Love, Envy whispered to Madness,
"He is in the rose bush."
Madness grabbed a wooden pitch
fork and stabbed wildly at the
bush. He jabbed and stabbed
until a heartbreaking cry made
him stop.
Love appeared from the bush,
with both hands covering his
face. Blood oozed from his eyes
and trickled down his fingers.
Madness had stabbed out Love's
eyes with his pitch fork.
"What have I done? What have I
done?" Madness screamed. "I have
blinded you! How can I repair
the damage?"
Love answered: "You cannot
repair my eyes. But if you
really 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
