Socrates and Plato Had Taught Us to Shop Online

The story goes like that: one day, Plato asked his teacher Socrates what love is. Socrates asked Plato to get the biggest and best ear of wheat from a cornfield, only one. Plato got only one time to pick and he can only go ahead, never turn back.

Plato did as what Socrates said. But in the end, Plato came back with nothing. Plato said: “there is only one time to pick, and never return. Although I have met the biggest one, I still gave up for looking forward to the future bigger one. Therefore, I missed the biggest one and never pick.”

Socrates said: “that is love”. A funny and profound story, right?

In my opinion, the situation is very similar to shopping. So many times have we walked along the streets, visited one after one store, but we came back with nothing. That is because we always think that the better or cheaper one may be in the next store. So we go ahead to look for the favorite, while the best one may be missed.

The situation will be totally different if you go shopping online where a big variety of products and offers are available. You can compare among many products and stores at the same time to choose the best one. It takes you only a little time, and you needn’t go out even, let alone wander several streets for a whole day.

The theory is conveyed by great figures Socrates and Plato. You agree with it, right? Then just shop online!
