+ And Thus this is love +
People meet in different circumstances and interesting and unexpected the way i met this fren....
this is from him.... a really nice view pt abt love....
one so apt... so true... yet so difficult to become true....
One day, Socrates asked his teacher Plato, "What is love?"
Plato told him, "Go through the wheat field once, never turning back. Pick the tallest wheat you can find and bring it back."
Socrates went through the wheat field but came back empty-handed.
Plato asked why. Socrates explained, "While I was walking through the field, I spotted a tall wheat plant. But I fear there may be a taller one behind. So I decided to forgo the first one. Alas, there was none taller one behind. So I came back with nothing."
Plato then told Socrates again, "Go through the woods once, never turning back. Choose the best tree you can find and bring it back."
Socrates went through the woods. This time round, he came back with an average-looking tree.
Plato asked why. Socrates explained, "While I was walking through the woods, I spotted this tree. It may not be the most beautiful or the most sturdy, but it was good in my eyes. And I fear there may not be another one like it further down. So I decided to bring back this one."
Plato then said, "And thus this is love."
