One day, Plato asked Socrates: what is love?

Socrates said: I invite you to cross this rice field and pick up the largest and most golden wheat ear, but there is a rule: you cannot go back, and you can only pick it once.

So Plato did it. After a long time, he came back with empty hands.

Socrates asked him how he returned empty-handed?

Plato said: When I was walking in the field, I saw several very big and brilliant wheat ears. However, I always thought that there may be bigger and better ears in front of me, as a result, I did not pick them up. However, when I continued to walk, I always thought it was better than I saw it before, so I didn't pick anything at last...

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 one of the largest and strongest trees to come back and put them in the room for Christmas trees. But there is a rule: you cannot go back, and you can only cut it once.

So Plato did it. After a long time, he brought back a tree that was not the largest, the largest, and the largest, but not the best.

Socrates asked him how he only chopped such a tree back?

Plato said: When I crossed the woods, I saw several very good trees. This time, I learned the lessons learned from the last wheat spike. I chose this tree if it was good, I am afraid that if I do not select it, I will miss the opportunity to cut the tree and return empty-handed, even though it is not the best one I have ever met.

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

Another time, Plato asked Socrates: what is happiness?

Socrates said: I invite you to cross this field and pick the most beautiful flower, but there is a rule: you cannot go back, and you can only pick it once.

So Plato did it. After a long time, he came back with a pretty flower.

Socrates asked him: Is this the most beautiful expense?

Plato said: When I crossed the field, I saw this beautiful flower, and I picked it and thought it was the most beautiful, and, when I saw many beautiful flowers later, I still stick to my most beautiful belief and will not waver. So I picked the most beautiful flowers.

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

Plato asked the teacher one day, Socrates, what is an affair?

Socrates told him to go to the woods once,

You can go back and forth,

Get the best-looking flower on the way.

Plato went out with confidence,

Two hours later, he moved back to a colorful but slightly broken flower,

Socrates asked Him, "Is this the best flower ?"

Plato answered:

"I have been looking for two hours and found that this is the most beautiful flower in full bloom, but on the way back I picked it, it gradually withered ."

Then Socrates told him:

"That's an affair ."

One day Plato asked the teacher, Socrates, what is life?

Socrates told him to go to the woods once,

You can go back and forth,

Get the best-looking flower on the way.

Plato has learned from the past,

Go out with confidence.

After three days and three nights, he never came back.

Socrates had to go into the woods to find him, and finally found Plato was in the woods.

Socrates asked him, "Are you looking for the best flowers ?"

Plato pointed to a flower on the edge and said, "Is this the best flower ."

Socrates asked, "Why not bring it out ?"

Plato answered:

"If I take it off, it will wither immediately. Even if I don't pick it up, it will sooner or later. So I live on the side of it while it is still in full bloom. When it fades, find another one. This is the second best flower I have ever looked ."

Then Socrates told him:

"You already know the true meaning of life ."
