What is Love? and What is Marriage?

"What is Love?" 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 one you

left behind."

The student went to the field, goes thru the first row and sees one

big corn, but wonders that may be there is a bigger one ahead.

Then he saw another bigger one but he thought may be there is still

a bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he was about to finish the corn field, he realized that

the remaining corns are not as big as the previous ones he saw. He

knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.

So he ended up empty handed and went back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this is love.. you keep looking for a 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

sunflower field and choose the biggest sunflower and come back. But

the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to

pick the one you left behind."

The student went to the sunflower field. This time he is careful not

to repeat the previous mistake. When he reached the middle of the

field, he picked up a medium sized sunflower that he felt satisfactory

and came back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "this time when you brought a sunflower, you

looked for the one that you felt is just nice, you had faith and

believed this is the best one you can get.. this is marriage."
