The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an agrument, and one friend slapped the other in the face.
The only who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: "Today my best friend slapped me."
They keep on walking until they found a oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his 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 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 do something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can erase it."
Morale: Learn to write your hurt in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone. They say i takes a minute to find a special person. an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.
Take the time to live.
*I guess I should head down to the sand and start writing. But I wonder if there'e enough space on the sand for me to write not...*
