HURT, Sand & Wind

emailed by suhaila borhamdin

This is lovely story, which I must share with you, for you to read and
ponder...

This story tells of two friends walking through the desert. During some
point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other

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 who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him,"After I
hurt
you, you wrote in the sand and now, you wrote 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 lifetime to forget them.
