What do you think of love and marriage?
I remember a story about Plato, hope i could write it down here.
One day, plato asked histeacher ,"what's 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 best one, then you've found love." Plato thought it was easy, so he walked forward confidently. But it was a long time before he returned with empty hands, having nothing picked. His teacher asked him,"Why did you pick nothing?" Plato answered,"Because I could only pick one, and I cound not come back. I did find the best stalk, but I didn't know if there were any better ones ahead, so I didn't pick any in the end." Then his teacher said, " That is Love."
On another day, Plato asked his teacher again, " 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 one, then you have found marriage." Plato walked forward continuly in confidence this time, and before long, he returned with a straight green tree which was an ordinary tree, not very tall and thriving either. His teacher asked,"Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree this time?" Platoa nswered,"For my last failure, I walked halfway throught the wheat field and returned with empty hands, this time, I saw this tree and found it was not bad, if I didn't take it back, I would miss this oppourity and got nothing back again. So I chopped it down and brought it back." His teacher then answered,"That's Marriage."
Agree, I think it's love and marriage in our real life. And what do you think of love and marriage?
