This is a wonderful thing to think about for all of those out there who are unsure.
Love you all.
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
starteddrowning, 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 his best friend asked him,
"after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write 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
doessomething good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind
can evererase it."
Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in
stone.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to
appreciatethem, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
