Forgiveness??

A story tells of two friends who were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one
friend slapped the other in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he
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 cool off in the water. The one who had been slapped got stuck in
the mire and started drowning, but his 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 the 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."
May the wind be to your back and the sunshine on your face.
