"Difference in 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 them only once
and cannot turn back to pick." The
student went to the field, go thru first
row, he saw one big wheat, but he
wonders... may be there is a bigger
one later. Then he saw another bigger one... But may be there is an
even bigger one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than
half of the wheat field, he start to
realize that the wheat is not as big as
the previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he
regretted. So, he ended up went back
to the teacher with empty hand. The
teacher told him, "this is love... You
keep looking for a better one, but
when later you realise, you have already miss 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 them 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 reach the middle of
the field, he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come
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 this is the
best one you get... This is marriage."
