ABOUT SAND AND STONE

This is the story of two friends who were walking through a forest.

At a point, the two got into an arguement and one friend hit the other in the face.

The friend who was hit was hurt, but without any word, he wrote in the sand:

    'Today,my best friend hit me in the face'.

They walked on until they found an oasis where they decided to have a bath.

The friend who had been hit got stuck in the mud and was drowning but the friend

saved him.

When he came to, he carved in a stone:

    'Today my best friend saved my life'.

The friend who hit his best friend and then saved him asked:

     'After i hit you, you wrote this in the sand and now you carved in the stone that i saved you, why did you do this?

The other friend answered:

     'When someone hurt us we must write it in the sand where the wind of forgiveness can blow it away'. 'If someone does a good deed for you, we have to carve it in stone where no wind can blow it away'.

Learn to write the hurt in the sand and carve your good experiences in stone.

It is said that it takes only one minute to find extraordinary people, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but it takes a whole life time to forget them.

Let's all remember that this is why we are all here to gather, even though we have not seen each other, we are still closely knitted as one.

Please enjoy while you have a wonderful day.
