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."
