Love and Madness

Long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it, God placed all the “human qualities" in a room.

Since all the qualities were bored, they decided to play hide and seek.
"Madness" was one of the qualities and he shouted, "I want to count, I want to count!"

And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek "Madness", all the other qualities agreed.
Hence "Madness" leaned against a tree and started to count, "One, two, three..."
As "Madness" counted, the qualities went hiding. "Treason" hid in a pile of garbage.
"Lie" said that it would hide under a stone but hid at the bottom of the lake instead.
“Madness” continued counting, "...seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one..."

By this time, all the qualities were well hidden except "Love". For stupid as "Love" is, he could not decide where to hide. This should not come as a surprise because we all know how difficult it is to hide "Love".

"Madness" counted faster as he approaches hundred, "...ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven..."
When "Madness" got to one hundred, "Love" jumped into a rose bush where he hid.
“Madness” turned around and shouted, "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

As “Madness” started seeking, "Laziness" was the first to be found because "Laziness" was too lazy to hide. "Madness" searched madly and found "Lie" at the bottom of the lake. One by one, “Madness” found them all - except “Love”. “Madness” got desperate as he was unable to find “Love”.
Envious of “Love”, "Envy" whispered to "Madness", "“Love” is hiding in the rose bush."
"Madness" jumped into the rose bush and he heard a loud cry. The thorns in the bush had pierced "Love" eyes.

God heard the commotion and went into the room. He saw what happened and became very angry. He cursed "Madness" and said that since "Love" became blind because of “Madness”, “Madness” shall always be with “Love”.

As a result, from that day onwards, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness!
