Socrates said: I invite you to cross this rice field and pick the biggest and golden ears of wheat, but there is a rule: you can't go back, you can only pick them once.

So Plato did it. After a long time, he returned empty-handed.

Socrates asked him why he returned empty-handed.

Plato said: when I was walking in the field, I saw several particularly big and brilliant ears of wheat, but I always thought there might be bigger and better ones ahead, so I didn't pick them; But walking, I always feel that the ears of wheat I saw are not as good as those I saw before, and I finally didn't pick anything.

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 the thickest and strongest tree so that you can put it in the house as a Christmas tree, but there is a rule: you can't go back, you can only cut it once.

So Plato did it. After a long time, he brought back a tree. Although it was not the tallest or strong, it was not unreliable.

Socrates asked him why he only cut down such a tree.

Plato said: When I walked through the Woods, I saw several very good trees. This time, I learned the lesson of picking wheat ears last time. Seeing that this tree is not bad, I chose it. I'm afraid I'll miss the chance to cut down a tree and go home empty-handed, even though it's not the best I've ever met.

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

On another occasion, Plato asked Socrates: What is happiness?

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

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

Socrates asked him: Is this the most beautiful flower?

Plato said: When I crossed the field, I saw this beautiful flower, so I picked it and decided it was the most beautiful. Moreover, after seeing many beautiful flowers, I still adhered to my most beautiful belief and never wavered. So I picked the most beautiful flowers.

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

On the other day, Plato asked his teacher Socrates what is an extramarital affair?

Once, Socrates told him to go to the forest.

You can walk around,

Picking the most beautiful flowers on the road,

Plato went out safely again.

Two hours later, he came back with a bright but slightly missing flower.

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

Plato replied to the teacher, "I searched for it for two hours and found it to be the most blooming and beautiful flower, but on the way I picked it and brought it back, it gradually withered"?

At this time, Socrates told him: "It was an affair".

Another day, I asked my teacher Socrates what is life?

Once, Socrates told him to go to the forest.

You can walk around,

Picking the most beautiful flowers on the road,

Plato learned the previous lesson,

Go out with confidence,

After three days and nights, he didn't come back. ?

Socrates had to go into the Woods to find him, and finally found that Plato had camped in the Woods. ?

Socrates asked him, "Did you find the most beautiful flower?" ?

Plato pointed to a flower beside him and said, "Is this the most beautiful flower?" ?

Socrates asked, "Why don't you take it out?" ?

Plato answered the teacher, "If I take it off, it will wither at once. Even if I don't pick it, it will wither sooner or later So I lived next to it when it was still in full bloom. When it fades, look for the next one. This is already the second most beautiful flower I have found. " ?

At this time, Socrates told him: "You already know the true meaning of life".
