What exactly is love? What should love look like? Today we look at a conversation between Plato and his teacher Socrates about how the great Socrates explained love.
One day, Plato asked his teacher Socrates what love was, and Socrates asked him to go to the field first and pick the largest ear of wheat in the whole wheat field, only once, and could only go forward and could not turn back. So Plato did as the teacher said. As a result, he walked out of the field empty-handed. Socrates asked him why he hadn't picked it, and he said, "Because you can only pick it once, and you can't go back and see the biggest, because you don't know if there is a better one in front, so you don't pick it; When I got to the front, I found that it was not as good as I had seen before, and the biggest ear of wheat had long been missed, so I didn't pick anything. So Socrates said, "This is 'love.'"
Today through this story to share, in the process of our marriage and love often appears such a phenomenon, that is, each of us longs to meet the perfect love, the process of finding love is like looking for the biggest in the field of countless ears of wheat, each of us wants to pick the best, but in the end will always be empty-handed because we can't pick the best.
This story also tells us that when we reject the initial love, perhaps because we expect better, but we find that the future encounters are not as good as the original one, and the result can only be turned away from love one by one. Here to remind everyone that we long for the perfect love is not wrong, but do not ignore the people around you, cherish every opportunity to taste love, you may find that you have the best ear of wheat you are looking for.
