The Perfect Woman

Post Reply New Topic

One afternoon, Nasruddin and his friend were sitting in a cafe, drinking tea and talking about life and love. His friend asked: “How come you never married?”

“Well,” said Nasruddin, “to tell you the truth, I spent my youth looking for the perfect woman. In Cairo I met a beautiful and intelligent woman, but she was unkind. Then in Baghdad, I met a woman who was a wonderful and generous soul, but we had no common interests. One woman after another would seem just right, but there would always be something missing. Then, one day, I met her. Beautiful, intelligent, generous and kind. We had very much in common. In fact, she was perfect!”

“What happened?” asked Nasruddin’s friend, “Why didn’t you marry her?”

Nasruddin sipped his tea reflectively. “Well,” he replied, “it’s really the sad story of my life…. It seemed she was looking for the perfect man…

Thanks for sharing, I see myself in that story, but on the other hand, I feel I didn't come down here to look for love, but to spread universal knowledge and understanding.
I will devote myself to God, the living force of the universe and everything within. I will seek knowledge and understanding for sharing to others and who knows, while I'm at it, I might find myself the perfect girl as soon as I stop searching or as soon as I come to realization what is perfect.
