The difference between love and marriage

One day Plato asked his teacher, “What is love? How can I find her? ”

The teacher replied, “In front of you is a huge field of wheat. Move forward without turning, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most beautiful stem, then you have found love ".

Plato moved forward and returned quickly empty-handed, without picking a single stalk. The teacher asked him, "Why didn't you pick any stalks?"

Plato replied: “Because I could only choose once, but I could not go back. I found the most beautiful stem, but I didn't know if there were any better ones in front of me, so I didn't pick it. As I went forward, I realized that the stems I saw were not as good as the previous one, so in the end I didn't choose any. "

To which the teacher said, "Well, that's love!"

After a while, Plato came to the teacher again and asked him: "What is marriage? How can I find him? ”

The teacher replied, “In front of you is a lush forest. Move forward without turning, and knock down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, you have found a marriage.

Plato moved forward and after a short time returned with a tree. The tree was not lush, nor was it tall. It was just ordinary wood.

The teacher asked him, "Why did you cut down such an ordinary tree?"

Plato replied: “Because of my previous experience. I walked halfway through the woods. This time I saw a tree and felt it wasn’t that bad, so I cut it down and dragged it here. I didn't want to miss the opportunity. "

The teacher then said to him, "Well, that's marriage!"
