The story happened at a university, near the end of the lecture, the professor suddenly suggested to the students:
- I will try a small test with everyone, who wants to try it with me?
A male student stepped forward. The professor said:
- Write on the board the names of 20 people you can hardly leave.
The boy did as he was told. Among the names were those of his neighbors, friends, and relatives. The professor said:
- Please erase the name of the person you think is the least important!
The boy immediately erased the neighbor's name. The professor said again:
- Delete one more person!
The young man erased the name of a colleague. The professor continued:
- Delete one more person. One person who is not the most important in your life.
The young man continued to erase. Finally, there were only three names left on the board: parents, wife, and child. The whole classroom fell silent. Everyone looked at the professor silently, feeling as if this was no longer just a game. The professor calmly continued:
- Please delete one more name!
The boy hesitated, with great difficulty making a choice. He picked up the chalk and crossed out his parents' names.
- Cross out another name! - the professor's voice rang in his ears again.
The young man was stunned, then like a machine, slowly and firmly crossed out the son's name. And he burst into tears, looking extremely miserable.
The professor waited for him to calm down for a long time and asked:
- The closest people to me should be my parents and my child, because my parents are the ones who gave birth to me and raised me, my child is the one I gave birth to, and my wife can be replaced by someone else. So why is it that my wife is the one I find hardest to leave?
The whole lecture hall was silent, waiting to hear the answer. The young man calmly and slowly said:
- Over time, my parents will leave me, when my children grow up, they will also definitely leave me, the person who will always be by my side, my friend for life, is truly only my wife!
After saying that, the young man turned to whisper into the professor's ear: 'Sir, I have to say that because my wife is sitting below. If I don't say that, I will die. Please understand me.'
The professor smiled and cried:
- I am no different from you!
