Sand and Stone (A Small story about two friends)

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.

The friend w! ho 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."

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 appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to
forget them.

.
Do not value the things you have in your life.
But value who you have in your life!
