A Slap in the Face
I loved the message this story brought, We hold on to so many things its crazy, and even if you don’t realize you have beef with someone, find out and FORGIVE AND FORGET …. Life is way to short to not get to know and appreciate our brothers and sisters Everyone deserves to be loved So Humble up – Cool down And Start Lovin’
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, 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 take a swim. The one who had been slapped got stuck in mire and was drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he who had been slapped and now saved, carved on a stone:
“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE”
The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, “After I hit you, you wrote in the sand, yet now, you carved 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 from our view and our memory, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it and we can remember it forever.”
Spread the love!
