Views on Love &
Marriage
To start with a short story,
A student asks a teacher: What is love?
The teacher said: in order to answer your question, go to the paddy
field and choose the biggest paddy 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, go through first row, he saw one big
paddy,but he wonders.... may be there is a bigger one later. Then he
saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one
waiting for him Later, when he finished more than half of the paddy
field, he start to realize that the paddy is not as big as the
previous one he saw, he know he has missed the biggest one, and he
regretted. So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher told him, this is love... you keep looking for a better
one, but when later you realize, you have already miss the person.
The student asked: What is marriage then?
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 reach the middle of the field,
he has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfied, and came back
to the teacher.
The teacher told him, this time you bring back a corn.... you look
for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is
the best one you get.... this is marriage

"What Does Love
Mean?"
Question posed to a group of four through eight year olds. Their
answers:
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You
know that your name is safe in their mouth.
Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving
cologne and they go out and smell each other.
Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.
When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared
they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not
only do they still love you, they love you even more.
Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday.
Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff
gets in the way.
Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a
sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.
You really shouldn't say `I love you' unless you mean it. But if you
mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.
Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still
friends even after they know each other so well.
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend
who you hate.
When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little
stars come out of you.
