17. What to remember, what to forget



Two friends were strolling through the desert. During some point of the journey they had a disagreement and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt and upset, 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 hurt and saved his best friend asked him….When I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone. Why did you do both differently? The other friend replied….When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of mercy and forgiveness can remove it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must etch it in stone where no wind can ever erase it! We should remember the benevolence and favors of others on ourselves.
