"Sand Or Stone?"
A story tells that two friends were walking through
the desert. In a specific point of the journey, they
had an argument, and one friend slapped the
other one on the face. The one who got slapped
was hurt, but without anything to say, he wrote
in the sand:
"TODAY, MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON
THE FACE."
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis,
where they decided to take a bath. The one who
got slapped and hurt started drowning, and the
other friend saved him. When he recovered from
the fright, he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE"
The friend who saved and slapped his best friend,
asked him, "Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the
sand, and now you write on a stone?"
The other friend, smiling, replied: "When a
friend hurts us, we should write it down in the
sand, where the winds of forgiveness get in
charge of erasing it away, and when something
great happens, we should engrave it in the stone
of the memory of the heart, where no wind can
erase it."
1. Learn to write in the sand, when you have
difference and hurt feelings with your friend.
2. Learn to write in stone when your friend had
some thing done really good to you.
