Love And Marriage
One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is
love? How can I find it?"
His teacher answered, "There is a vast wheat
field in front. Walk forward without turning back,
and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent
stalk, then you have found love."
Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned
with empty hands, having picked nothing.

His teacher asked, "Why did you not pick any
stalk?"
Plato answered, "Because I could only pick
once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find
the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if
there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick
it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were
not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick
any in the end."
His teacher then said, "And that is love."
On another day, Plato asked his teacher, "What
is marriage? How can I find it?"
His teacher answered, "There is a thriving
forest in front. Walk forward without turning back,
and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest
tree, then you have found marriage."
Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned
with a tree. The tree was not thriving, and it was
not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree.

His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down
such an ordinary tree?"
Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience.
I had walked through the field, but returned with
empty hands. This time, I saw this tree, and I felt
that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought
it back. I did not want to miss the opportunity."
His teacher then said, "And that is marriage.
You see son, love is the most beautiful thing to
happen to a person, it's an opportunity but you
don't realize it's worth when you have it but only
when it's gone like the field of stalks. Marriage
is like the tree you chopped, it's a compromise."
