Sand and stone

After having a really bad day yesterday, I recently received this via email from a close friend.  It really helped me and I hope it will help you.

SAND & STONE


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 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.
They Say It Takes A Minute To Find A Special Person, An Hour To Appreciate Them, A Day To Love Them, But Then An Entire Life To Forget Them. Do Not Value The Things You Have In Your Life, But Value Who You Have In Your Life!
 
Sometimes I think that people forget that words and actions are just that.  I know that when I get mad I say things that I sometimes don't mean.  But I can not always forgive.  Maybe this is a way to get over the hurtful things that happen to me.  I really wish that the world was not the way it is. But, of course we can not change people, they must change themselves.  I hope that this helps others as much as it helped me.
