The Sadness and the Fury
In an enchanted kingdom where men can never reach, or perhaps where men pass eternally without realizing...in a magical kingdom where no-tangible things become concrete..Once upon the time..a wonderful pond. It was a crystalline and pure lagoon where swimming fishes of all colors and where all shades of greens are reflected permanently.
In that beautiful and magical lagoon the sadness and the fury approached for bathing in mutual company. The two removed their clothes and naked, entered to the pond.
The fury was in a hurry, as always happens to the fury, without knowing why, batted quickly and came out of the water. But the fury is blind or, at least, does not clearly distinguishes reality. So, naked and hurried, put the first garment that he found. And so, dressed in sadness, the fury went away.
Very calm, without any hurry, without awareness of the passage of time the sadness came out of the pond. As we all known, if there something that sadness does not like is to be naked. So the sadness put the only garment that was available, the garment of the fury.
Since then, many times you will meet with the fury. But if we take time to look well, we will realize that this fury is only a disguise, that behind of the fury, in fact, is hidden the sadness.

wow, so beautifully and lyrically written! I felt transported into an ancient magical land...
Interestingly, different emotions mask other emotions! So true! Thanks for sharing your writing and wisdom with us!
@Flowingstreams I first read this in Spanish. The tale appear in many Jorge Bucay's books. He recognize he somehow took it/adapted the tale from somewhere else.

Very cool! Thanks for letting me know! And for sharing this story. I love reading fable like stories!
@ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp
Agreed. It's as if they're both the same emotion.
@persistentartprenuer I have tried it in myself: there are times when I feel angry, but the real feeling is sadness. I have realized that when I fel happy, I tend less to feel angry about some circumstances.
