"How Do You Write Down Your Best And Worst Memories?"

Sand and Stone
By: Unknown Author

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 the friend recovered from the near
drowning, he wrote on a stone: "TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED
MY LIFE."

The friend who had slapped and then saved his best friend
asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand. 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
blessings in stone.
