When the student is ready..

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat 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, and went through the first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders... 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 wheat field, he starts to realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knows he had missed the biggest one, and he regretted it.

So, he went back to the teacher empty handed.

The teacher told him, "this is love... You keep looking for a better one, but later you realize, that 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 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 reached the middle of the field, he picked one medium corn that he feels satisfied with, and goes back to the teacher.

The teacher told him, "This time you brought a corn back. You looked for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you can get... This is marriage."


Happy Valentine's Day
