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 downing, 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 friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down. Forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can erase it."

Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.

Thanks, Lady D! SAND and STONE

If we could all only remember to do it THAT way instead of the way it's usually done... right? SAND and STONE
