Hi Friends,
Am just come across a nice story describing love and marriage so thought to share with you all.
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, " in order to answer
your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest paddy 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
paddy, 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 pad i field, he start to
realize that the padi 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
realize, 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 satisfied, and came 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."
All the best in finding the both things.
