Plato asked Socrates what is love...
Socrates: Go into the field and get me the most special leaf...
Plato returned with no leaf at hand
said: I found the most beautiful leaf in the field but I didn't pick it up for I might find a better one, but when I returned to the place, it was gone...
Socrates: We always look for the best in life. When we finally see it, we take it for granted and expecting a better one...
