Socrates' classic quotations on love

Socrates said: I invite you to cross this paddy field to pick the biggest and golden ear of wheat, but there is a rule: you can't go back and you can only pick it once.

so Plato did it. After a long time, he came back empty-handed.

Socrates asked him why he came back empty-handed.

Plato said: When I was walking in the field, I saw several particularly big and brilliant ears of wheat, but I always thought there might be bigger and better ones ahead, so I didn't pick them; However, when I walked on, I always felt that the ears of wheat I saw were not as good as those I had seen before, so I finally didn't pick anything. . .

Socrates said meaningfully: This is love.

Another day, Plato asked Socrates: What is marriage?

Socrates said: I ask you to go through this forest and cut down the thickest and strongest tree so that you can put it in the house as a Christmas tree, but there is a rule: you can't go back and you can only cut it once.

so Plato did it. After a long time, he came back with a tree that was not the tallest, big and strong, but it was not unreliable.

Socrates asked him why he only cut down such a tree.

Plato said: When I was walking through the Woods, I saw several very good trees. This time, I learned the lesson of picking wheat ears last time. When I saw that this tree was not bad, I chose it. I was afraid that if I didn't choose it, I would miss the opportunity to cut down the tree and return empty-handed, even though it was not the best one I met.

At this time, Socrates said meaningfully: This is marriage.

so Plato did it. After a long time, he came back with a beautiful flower.

Socrates asked him: Is this the most beautiful flower?

Plato said: When I crossed the field, I saw this beautiful flower, so I picked it and decided it was the most beautiful. Moreover, when I saw many beautiful flowers later, I still stuck to my most beautiful belief and never wavered. So I picked the most beautiful flowers.

At this time, Socrates said meaningfully: This is happiness.

After three days and three nights, he didn't come back.

Socrates asked? Why not take it out?

Plato answered the teacher:

? If I take it off, it will wither immediately. Even if I don't pick it, it will wither sooner or later. So I lived next to it when it was still in full bloom. When it fades, look for the next one. This is already the second most beautiful flower I have found. ?
