One day, Plato asked his teacher, “What is love? How can I find it?”
His teacher answered, “There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love.”
Plato walked forward, and before long, he returned with empty hands, having picked nothing.
His teacher asked, “Why did you not pick any stalk?”
Plato answered, “Because I can only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but I did not know if there were any better ones ahead so i did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end.”
His teacher then said, “And that is love.”

On another day, Plato asked his teacher, “What is marriage? How can I find it?”
His teacher answered, “There is a thriving forest in front. Walk forward without turning back again and chop down only one tree. If you find the tallest tree, then you have found marriage.”
Plato proceeded to walk forward and before long, he returned with a tree. This tree was not thriving and it was not tall either. It was only an ordinary tree.
His teacher asked, “Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?”
Plato answered, “Because of my previous experience, I had walked through the field but returned with empty hands. This time, I saw this tree and I felt that it was not bad, so I chopped it down and brought it back. I did not want to miss this opportunity.”
His teacher then said, “And that is marriage.”
“You see, son. Love is the most beautiful thing to happen to a person. It is an opportunity but you do not realize its worth when you have it. And it is only when it is gone like the field of stalks then you will start to realize and appreciate its worth.”
“Marriage is like the tree you have chopped down. It is a compromise.”
