.......Sweet luv story.........
One day, Plato asked his teacher,
"What is love?
How can I find it?" Histeacher answered,
"There is a vast wheat field in front.
Walk forwardwithout turning back,
and pick only one stalk.
If you find the mostmagnificent stalk, then you have found love.
" Plato walked forward,and before long,
he returned with empty hands,
having picked nothing.
Histeacher asked, "Why did you not pick any stalk?
" Plato answered,
"Because Icould only pick once,
and yet I could not turn back.
I did find the mostmagnificent stalk,
but did not know if there were any better ones ahead,
soI did not pick it.
As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not asgood as the earlier one,
so I did not pick any in the end. His teacher thensaid, "And that is love.
"On another day, Plato asked his teacher,
"What is marriage?
How can I Findit?" His teacher answered,
"There is a thriving forest in front.
Walkforward without turning back, and chop down only one tree.
If you find thetallest tree,
then you have found marriage".
Plato walked forward, andbefore long,
he returned with a tree.
The tree was not thriving, and it wasnot tall either.
It was only an ordinary tree.
His teacher asked, "Why didyou chop down such an ordinary tree?
" Plato answered, "Because of myprevious experience.
I had walked through the field, but returned with emptyhands.
This time, I saw this tree, and I felt that it was not bad,
so Ichopped it down and brought it back.
I did not want to miss theopportunity.
" His teacher then said, "And that is marriage.
You see son Loveis the most beautiful thing to happen to a person,
its an opportunity butyou don't realize its worth when you have it but only when its gone like thefield of stalks.
Marriage is like the tree you chopped, it's a .......compromise . . .
