There were 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:
[strong][em]Today my best friend slapped me in the face.[/em][/strong]

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:
[em][strong]Today my best friend saved my life.[/strong][/em]

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.

Moral of the story:
Don't value the things you have in your life. But value who you have in your life.

    Very good!
    The good things people do for me are engraved in stone. Unfortunately, I don't forgive like the wind blows the writing in the sand...

    Great story and words of wisdom to live by... Don't value the things you have in your life. But value who you have in your life.

    This is incredibly true, and our society needs to consider the message. Earlier this year my wife's life was stolen by cancer, we had been married for 34 years, she was my girlfriend for a couple before that. I valued her but don't have her at my side now. We have material possessions but they don't make me smile or laugh, I don't hug them or hold their hand, I don't love them.

    Such a powerful story. It's good to keep thoughts like this in our mind to remind us to let go of things that can rot away the good things in our lives.
