Love And Marriage
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: You can go through the field only once and cannot turn back to pick."
The student went to the field, goes through the first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders .... maybe there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one... but maybe there is an even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half the wheat field, he realizes that the wheat is not as big as the previous ones he saw, he knows he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ends up going back to the teacher empty handed.
The teacher told him, "...this is LOVE....you keep looking for better one, but when later you realize, you have already missed the person..."
"What is marriage then?" the student asked.
The teacher said, "In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through the field only once and cannot turn back to pick..."
The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reaches the middle of the field, he picks one medium corn, he feels satisfied, and comes back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "This time you bring back a corn....you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe that this is the best one you can get....This is MARRIAGE."
