One of the best explanations of Love & 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 realise its worth when you have it but only when it's gone
like the field of stalks. Marriage like the tree you chopped, it's a
compromise."
