The Island of Virtues and Sentiments...

Once upon a time, there was a peaceful island where different sentiments and some virtues lived: 
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, Wealth, Hubris; including Love. 
Everyone was having a wonderful time sheltered from Time.
 
One day, it was announced to the inhabitants of this island that it was going to sink.
Sentiments and Virtues began to build their own boat; they were getting ready to leave.
 
Only Love decided to stay. Love loved this island so much that he absolutely wanted to stay;
that is why he did not start building his boat.

These preparations were completed just when a strong wind and torrential rain fell on the island.
The island was about to sink. It was then that Love decided to call for help.

Wealth being about to leave aboard her luxurious boat, Love said to her:
"Wealth, can you take me away?"
“No, because there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat. Sorry, I don't have room for you."

Love then decided to ask Hubris, who was also about to leave on board his magnificent boat: 
“Hubris, help me, please! Let's go together."
“I cannot help you, Love. You're all wet and you could damage my boat."
 
Sadness also weighed anchor, Love asked her:
“Sadness, let me come with you.”
"Ooh... Love, I'm so sad I need to be alone!"
 
Happiness also took off; Love beckoned to him,
but Happiness was so happy that he did not even hear Love calling him!
 
Suddenly, a soft voice rang out: "Come Love, I'll take you with me." That was an old person who talked.
Love felt so grateful and full of joy that he forgot to ask the old man his name.
When they arrived on dry land, the old man left.

Love realized how much he owed a great debt to this old man, and asked Knowledge:

"Who helped me?"
 
"It was Time." Answered Knowledge.
 
"Time ?" wondered Love. "But why did Time help me?"
 
Knowledge smiles; and full of wisdom answered him:

"It's because Only Time can understand how important Love is in Life."

My job allows me to write and sometimes erase... The Eraser and the Pencil The eraser said to the pencil: "How are you, my friend?" The pencil replied angrily: "I'm not your friend... I hate you..." The eraser said with astonishment and sadness: "Why?" The pencil retorted: "Because you erase everything I write..." The eraser replied: "I only erase mistakes." The pencil: "What's that to you?" The eraser: "I'm an eraser, and this is my job." The pencil: "It's not a job." The eraser: "My job is as useful as yours." The Pencil: - You're wrong and you're pretentious, because the one who writes is better than the one who erases... The Eraser: - Erasing the mistake is the same as writing what is good... The Pencil remained silent for a moment, then said, a little sadly: - But I see you getting shorter day after day. The eraser: - Because I sacrifice something of myself every time I erase a mistake for you. The pencil said: - I too feel shorter every day than I was... The eraser said, comforting him: - We can only be useful to others by making a sacrifice for them... Then the eraser looked at the pencil with great kindness, saying: - Do you still hate me?... The pencil smiled and said: - How can I hate you when you brought us together through sacrifice?... MORALITY OF THE STORY Every time you wake up, your life decreases by a day... If you cannot be a pencil to write the happiness of others, be a gentle eraser that erases their sorrows and spreads hope and optimism in their souls so that their future may be better. May Wisdom guide us always, everywhere. Author unknown, text presented by Marie-Anne. Meditate on

During the occupation of France by Nazi Germany, hundreds of thousands of French workers were requisitioned and transferred to Germany to participate in the German war effort. The STO was created on February 16, 1943, following the failure of the policy of voluntary work and liberation, which allowed 70,000 French workers to be present in Germany in 1942.
