LOVE AND MADNESS

They once met at a place on earth all feelings and qualities of men.

When BOREDOM had yawned for the third time, MADNESS, as crazy as ever, proposed: let's play hide and seek!

INTRIGUE raised an eyebrow and CURIOSITY, unable to restrain asked: hide and seek?

And how is that game played?

It's a game - MADNESS explained, I will cover my eyes and start to count from one to twenty while you and when I have finished counting, the first of you I find takes my place to continue the game.

ENTHUSIASM danced seconded by EUPHORIA.

JOY gave so many jumps that ended up convincing the DOUBT, and even APATHY, that is never interested in anything.

But not everyone wanted to participate,TRUTH chose not to hide, what for?

If at the end she was always found.

PRIDE felt it was a very silly game (basically what bothered him was that the idea had not been his)

and COWARDICE preferred not to risk ...

One, two, three ... MADNESS started counting.

The first on to hide was LAZINESS, as always dropped after the first stone of the road.

FAITH ascended into heaven and ENVY hid behind the shadow of TRIUMPH that by his own efforts had managed to climb the tree top.

GENEROSITY kept on changing places to hide almost every site that he found, he thought was wonderful for some of his friends...... If a clear lake, ideal for BEAUTY, if the crack of a tree, perfect for SHYNESS..if the flight of a gust of wind, great for FREEDOM..

So ended up hiding in a ray of sun.

SELFISHNESS instead, found a very good site from the beginning, airy, comfortable ... but just for him.

LIE hid in the deep ocean (a lie, actually hid behind the rainbow)

PASSION and DESIRE hid in the hearts of the volcanoes.

OBLIVION ... I forgot where he hid ... but that is not important.

When the MADNESS had reach 19, LOVE had not yet found a place to hide, as everything was ocuppied, until he found a rose bush and touched decided to hide among the flowers.

Here I come, yelled MADNESS, and began searching. The first to appear was LAZINESS only three steps of a stone.

FAITH was heard arguing with GOD in the sky over theology.

PASSION and DESIRE made love so, that the volcanoes erupted.

In an oversight found ENVY and clearly, was able to deduce where TRIUMPH was.

SELFISHNESS did not even have to look for, he left his hiding place, as it turned out to be a hornet's nest.

MADNESS felt thirsty from walking and near the lake discovered BEAUTY.

DOUBT was even easier to find, because he found her sitting on a fence still undecided which way to hide.

So was finding TALENT among the tall grass, DISTRESS in a dark cave.

LIE back on the rainbow (a lie, she was at the bottom of the ocean)

OBLIVION ... because he had forgotten they were playing hide and seek.

but only LOVE did not appear anywhere, MADNESS looked behind every tree, every stream on the planet,

at the top of the mountains and when he was giving up, he spotted a rose and roses ... took a fork and began to move the branches, when suddenly he heard a painful cry.

The thorns had injured the eyes of LOVE and he was now blind.

MADNESS did not know what to do, he apologized, cried, pleaded, begged forgiveness and promised to be his guide for ever.

Since then, since the first hide and seek in the land ... LOVE IS BLIND AND MADNESS ALWAYS GUIDES HIM.
