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. Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your blessings in stone.
