A student asked a teacher, “What is love?”

The teacher answered, “In order to answer your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi 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, while going thru first row, he saw one big padi, but he thought to himself: maybe there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one… But maybe there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he start to realize that the padi is not as big as the previous one he saw, he found out that 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 on looking for a better one, but when you realize later on, you have already missed the person…”

“What is marriage then?“, asked the student. The teacher replied, “In order get an answer to question, go to the corn field, choose the biggest corn and return. And again, the same rules apply: 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 reached the middle of the field, he has already picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and returned 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.“ 

I think the story is very meaningful.

The story may sound rather familiar to many people; I’m quite sure!  Does the story relate to you?
