The Sands of Forgiveness

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 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 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 where no wind can ever erase it.”
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE.
Each day i learn something new, i am old but never too old to learn, i am able to forgive one then why not the other, these are the silly thots in my mind TOM dats what sand always said.. and i am doing just dat today.. its funny as  the hour glass passes how different things look turning back.. and thats exactly what i am feeling, left over here on ss desk... in time you will see the wonderful colors of TOM and will smile and will let another smile too.. if you feel its painful.. just remember how lucky we are to feel the pain and know we are still alive.. then to be lying in some place with no pain... not even knowing our TOMS hahahah ... its a beautiful day.. god i love reading all the blogs i am following.. all you people have a nice day...
