Two friends were walking through the desert. During some
point of the journey, they had an argument & 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
& 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 & saved his best friend asked
him, “after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand & 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.”

Pro 17:9 (GNB): "If you want people to like you,
forgive them when they wrong you. Remembering wrongs can break up a
friendship."
