Sands and stones
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 he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST
FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."
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.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them..
