One day, Plato asked his teacher Socrates what is love? The teacher asked him to go to the wheat field first and pick the biggest and golden ears in the whole wheat field. He can only pick it once, and he can only go forward without looking back. Plato did as the teacher said and returned empty-handed. Socrates asked him why he didn't pick it. He said, "Because you can only pick it once and you can't look back. Even if you see the biggest and golden ears of wheat, don't pick them, because I don't know if there is any better one ahead. " When I walked to the front, I found that it was not as good as I had seen before. The biggest and golden ears of wheat have been missed, so I didn't pick anything. Socrates said that this is "love".

One day later, Plato asked Socrates what marriage was. Socrates told him to go to the forest first. Blow down a tree that is the largest, most lush and most suitable for making a Christmas tree at home in the whole forest, and you can only cut it once. Similarly, you can only go forward, and you can't look back. This time, Plato brought back an ordinary, not too lush, not too bad tree. He explained: "With the last experience, I walked halfway empty-handed and saw that the tree was not too bad, so I cut it down so as not to miss it and bring nothing back." Socrates said that this is "marriage"!

Life is like blink of an eye. Just like the moral of this story, life is like walking through vast wheat fields and Woods. You can only go once, and you can't look back. If you want to find your best ears of wheat and trees, you must have a wise mind and great courage. We missed what we missed; We cherish what we have. However, the only constant is that whether we finally harvest ears of wheat or trees, whether we finally pick or cut them down, the search process is always beautiful. Once you make a choice, you should accept the reality frankly and appreciate the beauty actively, otherwise there will be nothing, right?
