Sand vs Stone

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 FRIENDSLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis,where they decided to take a bath. The one whohad been slapped got stuck in the mire andstarted 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 andsaved his best friend asked him,"After I hurt you, you wrote in thesand and now, you write on a stone,why?" The other friend replied "When someonehurts us we should write it down in sand where windsof forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someonedoes something good for us, we must engraveit in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
