Once upon a time there were two children,a boy and a girl, that had about
four or five years of age.

The boy called Love and the girl,Madness.

Love was always a calm child,sweet and understanding.
Already Madness was very motional,passionate and impulsive.

However, in spite of all the differences,the children were always together ,inseparable:
playing and fighting...

But, one day, however,Love was not very well, and he ended up giving in
to the provocations of Madness, and they had a very ugly discussion.

She was furious as never with Love,and she began attacked him, not only
with words, as usual.

The girl was so uncontrolled that she attacked the boy physically and, before
that he could notice, she pulled out the eyes of Love.

Love, without knowing what to do, crying,went to tell his mother, the goddess Aphrodite,
what had happened.

Disconsolated, Aphrodite implored to Zeus that he helped her son and punished Madness.

Zeus ordered that they called the girl for a serious conversation.

When being interrogated, the girl answered, as if she had reason, that Love had displeased her and then he deserved everything that happened.

Although she knew that she had not been fair with her friend, the girl - that never
knew how to aplologize -concluded saying that was his fault,and she was not sorry.

Zeus, perplexed with the apparent coldness of that child, said that he was not able
to return the vision to Love, but he ordered that Madness would be condemned
to be his guide for all the eternity, being always close to Love in each step
that he would give from that moment until the end of times.

And even today they walk together.

Wherever Love is, with him will be Madness, almost that melted
in only one essence, so united that per times we don't get to define
where finishes Love and where begins Madness.

It is also for that that we used to say that Love is blind.

It is not true, because Love has the eyes of Madness.
