Once, all the emotions decided to go on excursion. They all boarded the ship. When they were halfway, suddenly a storm hit the sea. The safety boats were taken out. Slowly and cautiously, all emotions started evacuating. Love helped all emotions to safely leave the ship.
Soon, it occurred to love that ego was missing from the sight. It went back to the ship and found ego still on the ship. It asked ego to move faster and go to safety boats. Ego did not move, it denied to move. Ego had the confidence that nothing can sink it and it was untouchable.
Love struggled a lot to persuade ego. But alas, due to stubborn ego, they both sank.
Short, sweet, simple but deep; the story gives us lot to think about.
