A story tells
that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the
journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the
face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote
in the sand:
"TODAY MY BEST
FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE"
They kept on
walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one
who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend
saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST
FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend,
who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, "After I hurt you, you
wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?"
The other
friend replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where
the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something
good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind
can ever erase it."
