His teacher tells him that love is like a corn and ends him out to a field.
He can only pick one, he can look back, but he cannot walk back.
and he cannot retrace any steps.
The corn he picks will be the one he eats.
He goes to the field and sees the biggest corn he has ever seen the moment he steps onto the field and grabs it.
He goes back and shows it to his teacher. His teacher tells him its not good for him because its a little spoiled. He doesn't listen. His friend tells him not to, as well, but steals it from him and eats it himself. He is friendless, and hungry.
He starves for a day.
His next lesson is a week later, he has fasted till then and is on the brink of death.
His teacher sends him out again, with the same rules.
He sits in front of the field for another week, watches each stalk grow, wither, and grow again.
He finds a meek looking ear of corn not too far away.
Its not humongous, but its not small either.
Its skin is perfect, no flaws, no worms.
Pure.
He quits school, and from that corn, he takes out all its kernels and prepares to grow his own corn.
(idk what all that was about.)
OKAY, next story about love..
this one is..from Plato. but in like..super simple english.
according to greek legend, at the beggining there were three genders, male,female, and androgynous.
The androgynous was a creature that embodied the best of male and female attributes.
It had the body of a male and female joined together. one face made of both, four arms and four legs.
It was a powerful beast, so much so that one day androgynous challenged the Gods.
It failed, and Apollo was tasked with seperating the beast into two.
While he tried, each half struggled so much.
Each half did not care about food, water, or anything else.
Their primary concern was connecting with the other again.
(ok, thats all I found out about..all that.)
Today econs paper was...really bad.
My mind has never blanked out before
but art was great.
