A Parable on Love and forgiveness:

Friends in the Desert

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 the 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."
