One day, Plato asked his teacher,
"What is love? How can I find it?"
The teacher answered,
"There's a large wheat field in front. Walk there without turning back, and take just one leaf. If you can find one leaf that you think is extraordinary, it means you have found love."
So Plato walked .. and not long after that, he came back empty-handed.
The teacher asked him, "Why, you don't bring any leaf?"
Plato said, "I can only bring just one leaf and when I walked through the wheat field I can't turn my back. Actually I have found one extraordinary leaf, but I don't know whether there's any other leaf more extraordinary, so I didn't take that leaf. When I walked further, I realized that the leaves I found are not as extraordinary compared to the leaf I've found earlier in my walk.In the end, I didn't take any single leaf."
Then the teacher told him, "So .. that is love."
Some thoughts:
The more you look for love, you will find nothing. Love is in your heart, when you can control your desire and your hope to find something better. When you have endless hope and wish of love, you will only get emptiness... because you won't get anything and time can not be turned back. Accept love for what it is.
So, now you should know what to do...
Oh Lord, you see what's in the heart,
There is nothing hid from You,
So help us live the kind of live,
That's filled with Love for You and everyone,
Let Your word fill our heart,
rule our heart, and guide our tongue,
Let us be Your embassors for life.
Have a good day,
