Always Remember The Good Things

Two friends argued while walking through the desert, and one slapped the other. The slapped friend wrote this in the sand but did not say anything. Later, at an oasis, the same friend saved the other from drowning in the mire. The saved friend wrote about this not in the sand but on a stone. He explained that hurts should be written in sand to be erased by forgiveness, but good deeds done for us should be engraved in stone to never be erased.

Always Remember The Good Things

Others Do For You


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 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 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 life to forget them. 

Do not value the things you have in your life, but value who you have in
your life!
