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 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 decide to take a bath.The one who has been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning but his friend saved him.After he recovered from the fright,he wrote on a stone:Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend,who has 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 sand,then you forget about the hatred.Learn to carve your gratitude in stone,then you know how to care about other people around you.This is what I have learned from this story.And I also believe that if everyone does like this,the world will become a better place.
