Sadness and rage

From the book “Stories to think about” by Jorge Bucay

In one enchanted Kingdom, where no foot of man, and maybe exactly the opposite, where people become travellers, not noticing…

In the fairy Kingdom, where the unreal becomes real, was a beautiful pond.

There was once… a miraculous lake…

Or rather, the lagoon with crystal clear water in which swam fish of various colours and shimmered with all the shades of green. Sadness and anger came to this fabulous pond to swim. Both took off their clothes and, naked, entered the water.

Fury, as usual, was in a hurry (which it always is), quickly bathed and even faster out of the water. But Fury is blind, or at least sees what is happening indistinctly. So she hastily put on a dress that was closer.

They were note her clothes, but those of Sadness. And dressed in a dress of Sadness, the Rage was gone.

Calmly, serenely, as always, the Sadness was finished with the swim and without any haste — or, to put it more precisely, without giving itself the report that time passes slowly and lazily got out of the pond. On the shore she found that her clothes no. And, as everyone knows, most of all the Sadness does not like to stay naked. So, she wore that dress that she found at the pond – the dress of Rage.

They say that since it is common to see rage — a blind, violent, angry and terrible. But if you look closely to it, we can see that the rage that we see, just a mask and underneath the rage is sadness.
