Two Friends in the Desert

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During somepoint of the journey they had an argument, andone 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 neardrowning, 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 other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someonedoes something good for us, we must engraveit in stone where no wind can ever erase it."

Wala lang. I jst wanted to say that I liked the story. Sana talaga madaling magpatawad. I found myself admitting that when someone asks me for forgiveness, ang dali ko magsabi ng 'Okay lang.' Pero deep within myself, I still harbor feelings of bitterness and anger. Anyway, hope you have a good one. :D
