two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey,
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
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.
Take the time to live!
Do not value the things
you have in your life, but value
who you have in your life!
And if i happen to get it back,
then i know my place in your life
