A Story Of Forgiveness

A story tells that two friends were walking through a desert. At a specific point of the journey, both of them had an argument and one friend slapped the other friend in the face...

The one who got slapped was very hurt, but without anything to say, he wrote in the desert sand: "Today my best friend slapped me"...

They then kept on walking through the desert until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath...

The one who got slapped and hurt started drowning and the other friend saved him..

When he recovered from the fright, he then wrote on the stone: "Today my best friend saved me"...

The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him, "Why after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone?"...

The other friend smiled and replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness will erase it away... and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it"...
