Love Vs Arranged marriage

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the
wheat
field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.
But the rule is: -
you can go through them only once & cannot turn back
to pick."
The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big
wheat,
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 wheat field, he starts
to
realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
knew 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 better ones, but
when later you realise, 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 reach the middle of the field,
he
has picked one medium sized corn that he felt 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."*
