I had not heard that story before, but I can tell that it's ancient wisdom that far too many people don't listen to anymore.
I wish more of these stories were taught in elementary and middle school. So many problems would be solved before they got to be big problems.
When I was younger, I kept hearing, "Opposites attract. You'll want a woman that's completely different from you." In my opinion, that's a lie. You want a mate that shares your likes, your goals, and will support you. I guess that's why I often feel like I have to fight the stream, I don't have a mate that actually cares for me as a person.
My favorite variant is "The Greek Princess and the Young Gardener."
Good point
