Once upon a time, on a distant island,
What was hidden from prying eyes,
All Feelings lived in deep mystery,
Captured by good or vice -
This legend has reached us.
Perhaps we would live like this until
Trouble did not come unexpectedly.
We would splash in the rays at God's will,
Not favoring myself with such a share
For many, many years...
But one day, dear ones, we found out
That the island is sinking to the bottom.
Everyone was in grief and sadness
And they left the monastery in a hurry.
Alas, there was no other option.
Love alone hoped for a miracle
And still she waited, with no hope.
And the waves came from everywhere,
Love sensed that things were bad,
She screamed to everyone, begging for help.
On the ship that shone with luxury,
Where there was a lot of gold, silver,
Wealth floated by with dignity,
But, no matter how Love begged him,
There was no place for her among the “good”.
Love cried out to arrogant Pride,
When the ship sailed by.
And she answered arrogantly:
"I don't want you to interfere
And someone violated my order.”
In the hope that Sadness will not abandon her,
Seeing a black and gray steamer,
Her love asks for mercy.
And she answered: “Why do I have the right to guests,
I’m not happy about anyone’s arrival.”
And Joy – she didn’t even care.
She was busy having fun.
It’s not that she didn’t want to help,
She danced and sang so loudly
Which I simply couldn’t even notice.
Nobody wanted to greet her
All Feelings turned away from her.
All alone, alone in this world,
Who is to blame, who is responsible for it?
Under this sky - to each his own...
Exhausted from torment and suffering,
Not believing that salvation will come,
Almost succumbing to despair,
Love sat holding her head,
Without seeing that the ship had moored.
“Come on, Love, I’ve come for you,
There is a place for you on the ship."
She heard it overhead.
A gray-haired old man, with a wrinkled hand,
He waved and called her to him.
At the last moment happiness smiled at her
And as soon as she stepped onto the deck,
Like the ocean, being in full power,
Instantly swallowed by a merciless mouth,
That wonderful island where Love lived.
Only they themselves know how long they swam.
We only know that one day
An inquisitive gaze saw under the skies
That continent with steep banks,
Where she was destined to settle down.
Not completely believing in my luck,
Crazy with joy and happiness,
Love has come to the long-awaited shore,
And only then did I miss the loss,
“Thank you,” she didn’t say.
I turned around in an instant, but the ship set sail,
The savior floated away, but did not give his name.
And she wandered saved in sorrow
To Knowledge, in order to know first,
Who is this old man who saved her?
To which Poznanie revealed the secret:
“That was Time in the mystery of centuries.”
“Why did it let me in?
And so generously sheltered? -
Love asked Cognition.
“Everything, about everything, requires Time...
To realize, to rethink again.
Among the bustle, victories and defeats,
Only time, unfortunately,
Makes you understand how significant Love is!”
“Love allows you to forget time... Time allows you to forget love..”
Why real love makes you forget time? I think this is due to the fact that, being next to a loved one, we flutter in the clouds, our heart is filled with feelings... Every minute, every moment that we spend together with our soulmate becomes important for us; and it is not important for us to pay attention to time, since we simply do not have time for this... And when we are near our loved one, we rejoice like children who received long-awaited candy. Every cell of our body comes to life, and the whole body, the mind strives for him, for this loved one.
In a state of love, we lose our minds, completely trust our hearts and stop controlling ourselves. We need so much in our lives true love, we want to feel needed not by anyone, but by a loved one, for whom life is dearer. It is love that makes us happy to a greater extent; we want to do everything that would please our half. Love is a magical feeling, and over time it grows stronger or disappears...
Time can affect love in different ways. There are 2 options when time allows you to forget love:
- Time allows you to forget the love that has passed. In this case, time is, as it were, a doctor: it heals the pain caused by love, by a loved one. In the presence of such pain in our heart, sometimes only time can heal such pain. But for us, every second seems like an eternity. And only, distracted from unhappy love, do you stop feeling that very eternity. Thanks to our favorite activities, the hands on the clock begin to move instead of standing still.
- Time helps you forget true love. This happens when love is weak enough that separation can extinguish the feelings of love. We begin to look at others, pay attention to them. Here you need to urgently stop and meet your loved one as soon as possible (if you value your partner, of course), and understand: do you really want to be with him and love him and be loved.
Found it quite interesting a parable about love and time.
Parable: “Love and Time”
Once upon a time, there was an island on Earth where everyone lived human values. But one day they noticed how the island began to go under water. All the valuables boarded their ships and sailed away. Only Love remained on the island. She waited until the last minute, but when there was nothing left to wait, she also wanted to sail away from the island. Then she called Wealth and asked to join him on the ship, but Wealth replied:
“There is a lot of jewelry and gold on my ship, there is no place for you here.”
When the ship of Sadness sailed past, she asked to come to her, but she answered her:
- Sorry, Love, I’m so sad that I need to always be alone.
Then Love saw Pride's ship and asked for her help, but she said that Love would disrupt the harmony on her ship.
Joy floated nearby, but she was so busy having fun that she didn’t even hear about the calls of Love. Then Love completely despaired. But suddenly she heard a voice somewhere behind:
- Let's go, Love, I'll take you with me.
Love turned around and saw the old man. He took her to land and, when the old man sailed away, Love realized that she had forgotten to ask his name. Then she turned to Knowledge:
- Tell me, Knowledge, who saved me? Who was this old man?
Knowledge looked at Love:
- It was Time.
- Time? - asked Lyubov. “But why did it save me?”
Knowledge looked at Love again, then into the distance where the old man sailed:
- Because only Time knows how important Love is in life.

- A parable very often in narrative form can make a person reconsider their life principles and values, and also realize what is truly important in their life. Today I bring to your attention a delightful parable about fate that everyone should read. Conversation between two angels. The older angel looks sternly at his subordinate. - Report. In a nutshell. - Alive. Goes to work. He hopes for something. - For what? - It's hard to say. Twice I showed him a happy dream - he doesn’t see it. He says he gets tired...
- Many of us sometimes get the idea that we are not living our lives. We try to please everyone, to be white and fluffy for everyone, otherwise suddenly they won’t accept us for who we are. And I don’t want to lose people. This wonderful parable story will tell you about what happens to people who do not know how to listen to their hearts. - How is it that it didn’t happen? - I asked in a suddenly shrunken voice, - Completely, or what? Yes, you have a mistake here in the file cabinet, better look!! -...
- This current question, which people often ask in relationships, should I stay or should I leave? This is a conundrum that many people face in relationships, and it's not too hard to figure out why. We are always told that love is a struggle; and this is always something we need to work hard on. We're told that just because something is broken doesn't mean we should just automatically throw it away. We still need to make sure we do everything we can to make the most of what we have....
- “... after deep shocks we survive, but we don’t know how to start life again.” Everyone has their own characteristics of happiness. For me, happiness is when I can breathe freely, touch every corner of my soul, and be constantly in touch. When I carefully follow her - I live every moment. But I am well aware of other conditions. During periods of difficult trials, this connection may be lost due to the inability to withstand the pain. Long time zero. You survived, got out, didn’t go crazy, didn’t lose face, but didn’t start a new countdown...
Parables are short and entertaining stories that express the experiences of many generations of lives. Parables about love have always been especially popular. And no wonder - these meaningful stories can teach you a lot. And the right relationship with your partner too.

Where else can one find wisdom if not in time-tested stories? We hope that short stories about love will answer many of your questions and teach harmony. After all, we are all born to love and be loved.
A parable about love, wealth and health
A parable about love and happiness
-Where does love go? - Little happiness asked his father. “She’s dying,” answered the father. People, son, don't take care of what they have. They just don't know how to love!
Little happiness thought: I’ll grow up big and start helping people! Years passed. Happiness has grown and become greater.
It remembered its promise and tried its best to help people, but people did not hear it.
And gradually Happiness began to turn from big into small and stunted. It was very afraid that it might disappear completely, and it set off on a long journey to find a cure for its illness.
How long did Happiness walk for a short time, not meeting anyone on his way, only he became completely ill.
And it stopped to rest. He chose a spreading tree and lay down. I had just dozed off when I heard footsteps approaching.
He opened his eyes and saw: a decrepit old woman was walking through the forest, all in rags, barefoot and with a staff. Happiness rushed to her: - Take a seat. You're probably tired. You need to rest and refresh yourself.
The old woman’s legs gave way and she literally collapsed into the grass. Having rested a little, the wanderer told Happiness her story:
- It’s a shame when you are considered so decrepit, but I’m still so young, and my name is Love!
- So you are Lyubov?! Happiness was amazed. But they told me that love is the most beautiful thing in the world!
Love looked at him carefully and asked:
- What's your name?
- Happiness.
- Is that so? I was also told that Happiness should be beautiful. And with these words she took out a mirror from her rags.
Happiness, looking at her reflection, began to cry loudly. Love sat down next to him and gently hugged him with her hand. - What did these evil people and fate do to us? - Happiness sobbed.
“Nothing,” said Love, “If we stay together and take care of each other, we will quickly become young and beautiful.”
And under that spreading tree, Love and Happiness entered into their alliance to never be separated.
Since then, if Love leaves someone’s life, Happiness goes with it; they cannot be separated.
And people still can't understand this...
The Parable of the Best Wife
One day, two sailors set off on a journey around the world to find their destiny. They sailed to an island where the leader of one of the tribes had two daughters. The eldest is beautiful, but the youngest is not so much.
One of the sailors said to his friend:
- That’s it, I found my happiness, I’m staying here and marrying the leader’s daughter.
- Yes, you’re right, the leader’s eldest daughter is beautiful and smart. You did right choice- get married.
- You didn’t understand me, friend! I will marry the chief's youngest daughter.
-Are you crazy? She's so... not really.
- This is my decision, and I will do it.
The friend sailed further in search of his happiness, and the groom went to get married. It must be said that it was customary in the tribe to give a ransom for the bride in cows. A good bride cost ten cows.
He drove ten cows and approached the leader.
- Leader, I want to marry your daughter and I’ll give ten cows for her!
- This good choice. My eldest daughter is beautiful, smart, and worth ten cows. I agree.
- No, leader, you don’t understand. I want to marry your youngest daughter.
- Are you kidding me? Don't you see, she's so... not very good.
- I want to marry her.
- Okay, but as an honest person I can’t take ten cows, she’s not worth it. I'll take three cows for her, no more.
- No, I want to pay exactly ten cows.
They got married.
Several years passed, and the wandering friend, already on his ship, decided to visit his remaining comrade and find out how his life was. He arrived, walked along the shore, and was met by a woman of unearthly beauty.
He asked her how to find his friend. She showed. He comes and sees: his friend is sitting, kids are running around.
- How are you living?
- I'm happy.
The same one comes in here beautiful woman.
- Here, meet me. This is my wife.
- How? Did you get married again?
- No, it's still the same woman.
- But how did it happen that she changed so much?
- And you ask her yourself.
A friend approached the woman and asked:
- Sorry for the tactlessness, but I remember what you were like... not very much. What happened to make you so beautiful?
- It’s just that one day I realized that I was worth ten cows.
Parable about the best husband
One day a woman came to the priest and said:
- You married me and my husband two years ago. Now separate us. I don't want to live with him anymore.
“What is the reason for your desire to get a divorce?” asked the priest.
The woman explained this:
“Everyone’s husband returns home on time, but my husband is constantly delayed. Because of this, there are scandals at home every day.
The priest, surprised, asks:
- Is this the only reason?
“Yes, I don’t want to live with a person who has such a disadvantage,” the woman answered.
- I will divorce you, but on one condition. Come home, bake some big delicious bread and bring it to me. But when you bake bread, don’t take anything from the house; ask your neighbors for salt, water, and flour. “And be sure to explain to them the reason for your request,” said the priest.
This woman went home and, without delay, got down to business.
I went to my neighbor and said:
- Oh, Maria, lend me a glass of water.
- Have you run out of water? Isn't there a well dug in the yard?
“There is water, but I went to the priest to complain about my husband and asked him to divorce us,” that woman explained, and as soon as she finished, the neighbor sighed:
- Oh, if you only knew what kind of husband I have! - and began to complain about her husband. Afterwards the woman went to her neighbor Asya to ask for salt.
-You’ve run out of salt, are you asking for just one spoon?
“There is salt, but I complained to the priest about my husband and asked for a divorce,” says that woman, and before she had time to finish, the neighbor exclaimed:
- Oh, if you only knew what kind of husband I have! - and began to complain about her husband.
So, no matter who this woman went to to ask, she heard complaints from everyone about their husbands.
Finally, she baked a large delicious bread, brought it to the priest and gave it to him with the words:
- Thank you, taste my work with your family. Just don’t think about divorcing me and my husband.
- Why, what happened, daughter? - asked the priest.
“My husband, it turns out, is the best,” the woman answered him.
A parable about true love
Once the Teacher asked his students:
- Why, when people quarrel, do they shout?
“Because they are losing their calm,” said one.
- But why shout if another person is next to you? – asked the Teacher. – Can’t you talk to him quietly? Why shout if you're angry?
The students offered their answers, but none of them satisfied the Teacher.
Finally he explained: “When people are dissatisfied with each other and quarrel, their hearts grow distant.” In order to cover this distance and hear each other, they have to shout. The angrier they get, the further they move away and the louder they scream.
- What happens when people fall in love? They do not shout, on the contrary, they speak quietly. Because their hearts are very close, and the distance between them is very small. And when they fall in love even more, what happens? – continued the Teacher. “They don’t speak, they just whisper and become even closer in their love.” - In the end, they don’t even need to whisper. They just look at each other and understand everything without words.

The wife came up, sighed with regret, and said to her husband:
- Sorry, dear.
- What are you doing, honey? It's my fault. I was in a hurry and didn’t notice the vase.
- It's my fault. She placed the vase so carelessly.
- No, it's my fault. Well, yes, okay. We could not have had greater misfortune.
The neighbor's heart sank painfully. He came home upset. Wife to him:
- You're doing something fast. Well, what did you look at?
- Yes!
- Well, how are they doing?
- It's all their fault. That's why they don't quarrel. But with us everyone is always right...
