ENGAGE: REALIZING MY PERSONAL VALUES
INSPIRATIONAL STORY ABOUT VALUES
Many years ago all feelings and emotions have gathered to spend their vacation on a
coastal island. Each of them was having a good time, but one day there was announced a
warning of a storm and everyone had to leave the island.
This caused a panic, all rushed to their boats and only Love did not wish to be in a hurry.
There was so much to do, so Love was the last, who realized that it was time to leave. However,
no free boats were left and Love looked around with hope.
As Prosperity was passing by in its classy boat, Love asked: „Please, take me in your
boat“. But Prosperity replied: „My boat is full of gold and other precious possessions, there is no
place for you“.
Then Vanity came by in a lovely boat. Love asked: „Vanity, could you take me in your
boat? Please, help me.” Vanity said: „No, your feet are muddy, and I don‘t want my boat get
dirty.”
A bit later Sorrow was passing by and Love called for help. But Sorrow answered: „I am
so sad, I want to be by myself“.
Then Happiness came by, Love asked for help, but Happiness was too happy, it hardly
concerned about anyone.
Suddenly somebody called out: „Love, I will take you with me“. Love did not recognize its
savior, just gratefully jumped on to the boat.
When everyone had reached safe place, Love get off the boat and met Knowledge. Love
asked: „Knowledge, do you know who helped me when everyone else turned away?”
Knowledge smiled: „That was Time, because only Time knows Love‘s true value and
what Love is capable of. Only Love can bring peace and happiness.”
Question:
1. What is the message of the story?
The message of the story is that time is much more valuable than any mere feelings. You may
be able to control your feelings but for TIME, - it is the other way around. Time is the great
equalizer and that because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.
In connection, a person needs to feel love and belonging in order to grow because
Love is a Basic Human Need and the feeling of security and safety.
In the story, it only shows how powerful love is and how it can
be used as a tool to change the whole wide world.
