Meaning of Love and Marriage

What a coincidence, after a nice mamak session with the girls, i came home and found this posted by one of my coursemate in the friendster bulletin. So apt for one of our talk.. ;)

"What is love?"

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the padi field and choose the biggest padi 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, went through the first row and saw one big padi, but he wonders....there may be a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but there may be an even bigger one waiting for him.

Later, when he finished more than half of the padi field, he started to realise that the padi is not as big as the previous ones he saw, he knew 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'll realise 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 sized corn that he feel satisfied with, and went back to the teacher.

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

Sometimes we think love lies in the right person we find, but love actually makes the person we find, the right person. Take time to love and enjoy every moment together.

Obviously, this does not apply to everybody. But however, i do believe that there isn't a 'right' person for anyone. Because with time and understanding, you can fall in love with just about anyone. It takes time to build a strong bond, and those love at first sight things are all just infatuations and lusts. hehe. It is how you turn those infatuations and lusts into something more meaningful and worthy that truly matters in relationships.

In the end, you choose who you want to love.
