Love & Marriage

Love & Marriage

One day, Plato asked his teacher, "What is love? How

can I find it?"

The teacher answered, "There's a large wheat field in

front. Walk there without turning back, and take just

one leaf. If you can find one leaf that you think is

extraordinary, it means you have found love."

So Plato walked.. and not long after that, he came

back empty-handed.

The teacher asked him, "Why, you don't bring any leaf?" 

Plato said, "I can only bring

 just one leaf and when I walked through the wheat

field I can't turn my back. Actually I have found one

extraordinary leaf, but I don't know whether there's

any other leaf more extraordinary, so I didn't take

that leaf. When I walked further, I realized that the

leaves I found are not as extraordinary compared to

the leaf I've found earlier in my walk. In the end, I

didn't take any single leaf."   Then the teacher told

him, "So ..That is love."

Another day, Plato asked his teacher again, "What is

marriage? How can I find it?"   The teacher answered,

"There is a forest in front. Please walk there and

don't look back. You can only cut one tree, and cut

the one that you think is the highest. That is when

you find marriage."   Plato walks there, and he came

back not long after bringing one tree.  The tree,

however, is not a very good tree and not a very tall

one, either. It's just an ordinary tree.

The teacher

asked him, "Why did you cut that kind of tree?"

Plato answered,"Because from my previous experience,

after walking through the wheat field, I came back

with nothing. So this time, when I saw this tree which

 I think is not so bad, I decided to cut it and bring

it here. I don't want to lose another chance to get

it." And the teacher said, "Well .. That is marriage."

Some-thoughts: the more you look for love, you will

find nothing. Love is in your heart, when you can

control your desire and your hope to find something

better. When you have endless hope and wish of love,

you will only get emptiness... because you won't get

anything and time can not be turned back.

 

Accept love for what it is.   Marriage is a

continuation of love. It's a process of having

chances, and you choose the best option among all the

alternatives. If you want to have a perfect match and

a perfect marriage, you will only waste your time,

because there is no perfect marriage.
