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, 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 the friend
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."
