Plato asked Socrates... "What is love?" Socrates said... "Go to the wheatfield then choose the special leaf for you" Plate came back without any leaf... Plato said... "I saw a special leaf, but i didn't pick it because maybe I might see more special than it" but while his looking for the the very special leaf.. he didn't see any... that's why he go back to the last leaf that he saw.. but when he got there, the leaf was gone.. "whats wrong with people is that we keep on looking for the best one, not knowing that we finally saw it but we take it for granted, expecting that we will find better than that.."

good day... we as people is instinctively greedy. We want what is better, more expensive, more beautiful and all along it is under our noses. We learn too late because when we finally knew it, it was already gone.

Yes this is really true about life. We look for the best but then we found it we look further only to know that the best is already gone now we realized it was the best already.

This is human nature. People tend to look for the best one in their lives. Well, at least they try to until they found out that that what they really want has already gone. Maybe the best mantra to apply to is to select and choose the first good one that come into your life. We'll never know who will come into our lives and what will happen next. Therefore, it's better to savor the moment as it comes. That way, we'll have no regrets in the end.
