A story tells that two friends were walking through the
desert. During some point of the journey that had an
argument, and one friend slapped the other
one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but
without saying anything, 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 the 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 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.
