Love & Marriage... An Excellent comparison of both....
A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question,
go to the paddy 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 paddy field, he start to
realize that the paddy 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."
