A story tells that 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 face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote on the sand “Today my best friend slapped me in the face”.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to swim. 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 on the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied “When someone hurts us we should write it down on sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something for us, we engrave it on stone where no wind can ever erase it”.

Value more the people, who has in your life than things.
