Menulis diatas pasir & memahat di batu

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 one thing, 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 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." 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. Send this phrase to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person who sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them. If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends. Take the time to live!!! THIS DAY I HAVE BEEN HONORED WITH THE FRIENDSHIP OF MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE. AMONG THEM IS YOU. CONSIDER THIS CARVED IN STONE

Menulis di atas pasir
Ini sebuah kisah tentang dua orang sahabat karib yang sedang berjalan melintasi gurun pasir. Ditengah perjalanan mereka bertengkar dan salah seorang menampar temannya. Orang yang kena tampar merasa sakit hati, tapi dengan tanpa berkata-kata dia menulis di atas pasir: "HARI INI, SAHABAT TERBAIKKU MENAMPAR PIPIKU". Mereka terus berjalan, sampai menemukan sebuah oasis dimana mereka memutuskan untuk mandi. Orang yang pipinya kena tampar dan terluka hatinya, mencoba berenang namun nyaris tenggelam, dan berhasil diselamatkan oleh sahabatnya. Ketika dia mulai siuman dan rasa takutnya sudah hilang, dia menulis di sebuah batu: "HARI INI, SAHABAT TERBAIK KU MENYELAMATKAN NYAWAKU". Orang yang menolong dan menampar sahabatnya, bertanya, "Kenapa setelah saya melukai hatimu, kau menulisnya di atas pasir dan sekarang kamu menulis di batu ?" Temannya sambil tersenyum menjawab, "Ketika seorang sahabat melukai kita, kita harus menulisnya diatas pasir agar angin maaf datang berhembus dan menghapus tulisan tersebut. Dan bila sesuatu yang luar biasa terjadi, kita harus memahatnya diatas batu hati kita agar tidak bisa hilang tertiup angin." Dalam hidup ini sering timbul beda pendapat dan konflik karena sudut pandang yang berbeda. Oleh karenanya cobalah untuk saling memaafkan dan lupakan masalah lalu. "TUNDUK TERTINDAS ATAU BANGKIT MELAWAN, KARENA DIAM ATAU MENYERAH ADALAH PENGHIANATAN"
