A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it, God had put all the human qualities in a separate room. Since all the qualities were bored they decided to play hide & 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. So 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. And Madness continued to count, "seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..."
By this time, all the qualities were already hidden, except Love. For stupid 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 continued, "ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when Madness got to one hundred... Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid.
And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!" As Madness turned around, 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 was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness, "Love is hiding in the rose bush."
Madness jumped on the rose bush and he heard a loud cry. The thorns in the bush had pierced the eyes of Love.
Hearing the commotion, God came into the room and saw what had happened. He got very angry and cursed Madness and said, "Since Love has become blind because of you, you shall always be with him."
And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.
