A story tells that two friends
were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey
they had an arguement,
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 asked him,
"After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand
and now, you write 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
were no wind
can ever erase it."


LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND
AND
TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
