LESSON OF LIFE
May 31, 2009 | 6:26PM
Two friends were walking through the desert..during some point of the journey they had an argument and the one friend slapped the other in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying a word he wrote it in the sand....TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE. They kept 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 him inquired "After I slapped you, you wrote in the sand, and after I saved you, you wrote on a stone.WHY?" The 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 erase it.
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and carve your benefits in stone. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them.
