Madness I tell you!

A long time ago, before the world was created and
humans set foot on

it for the first time, virtues and vices floated
around and were
bored, not knowing what to do.

One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered
together and were
more bored than ever. Suddenly, Ingenious came up
with an idea:
“Let’s play hide and seek!”

All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness
shouted: “I want
to count, I want to count!” And since nobody was
crazy enough to want
to seek Madness, all the others agreed. Madness
leaned against a tree
and started to count: “One, two, three…”

As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went
hiding. Tenderness
hung itself on the horn of the moon, Treason hid
in a pile of
garbage. Fondness curled up between the clouds and
Passion went to
the centre of the earth. Lie said that it would
hide under a stone,
but hid at the bottom of the lake, whilst Avarice
entered a sack that
he ended up breaking. And Madness continued to
count: “… seventy
nine, eighty, eighty one…”

By this time, all the vices and virtues were
already hidden - except
Love. For undecided 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: “…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 had no energy to hide. Then he spotted
Tenderness in the
horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake
and Passion at the
centre of the earth. One by one, Madness found
them all - except
Love.

Madness was getting desperate, unable to find
Love. Envious of Love,
Envy whispered to Madness: “You only need to find
Love, and Love is
hiding in the rose bush.”

Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed
wildly at the rose
bush. Madness stabbed and stabbed until a
heartbreaking cry made him
stop. Love appeared from the rose bush, covering
his face with his
hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of
blood from his eyes.

Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out
Love’s eyes with a
pitch fork. “What have I done! What have I done!”
Madness shouted. “I
have left you blind! How can I repair it?”

And Love answered: “You cannot repair my eyes. But
if you want to do
something for me, you can be my guide.”

And so it came about that from that day on, Love
is blind and is
always accompanied by Madness
