Sand and Stone

Assalamualaikum

This is a story that tells us about two friends who were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one. The one who got slapped was hurt but did not say anything. He just wrote on the sand : " TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED MY 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 to drown but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on the stone : " TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".

The friend who had slapped and saved him, asked a question to him, "I saw that after I hurt you, you wrote on the sand and now you write on a stone, why?"

He replied : " When someone hurts us, we should write it down on the sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone doing a good deed for us, we must engrave it on the stone so that no wind can ever erase it. =) "

-The End-

Setiap orang akan membuat kesilapan sama ada kecil atau besar. Tiada guna kita menyimpan dendam kerana dendam hanya akan memakan diri dan akan membuatkan hati kita makin hitam dan busuk. Sebaliknya maafkanlah kesilapan yang telah mereka lakukan kerana tiada siapa yang sempurna di dalam dunia ini. Sedangkan Nabi mengampunkan umatnya apatah lagi kita sesama manusia...Ukirlah senyuman walaupun disakiti kerana senyuman itu merupakan rawatan kepada duka, penawar kepada amarah, penyeri kepada semangat yang lemah dan penyembuh kepada jiwa yang kosong.DAN kenanglah setiap kebaikan yang pernah dilakukan kepada kita.
