Forgiveness

It's a story about two best friends who was walking across the desert. Along the way, they quarreled and slapped one of his friends. People who got slapped was hurt, but without saying a word, he wrote in the sand: "Today, my best friend slapped me on the cheek."

They continued walking until he found an oasis. They decided to take a shower. The man who slapped his cheeks and his heart hurt, but nearly drowned trying to swim, but he was rescued by his best friend. When he regained consciousness and his fear was gone, he wrote on a stone: "Today, my best friend saved my life."

People who help and slapped his best friend, asked "Why after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now write this in stone?" Smiling, his friend replied, "When a friend has injured us, we must write in the sand that the wind blows sorry to come and remove the sign. And if something extraordinary either case, we have carved on the rock of our hearts, so that could never be lost in the wind. "

In this life there are times when we and the people closest to us are in a difficult situation, which sometimes causes us to say or do things that hurt each other. Also the differences of opinion and conflicts due to different viewpoints. Therefore, before we regret later on, try to forgive and forget the past. Forgiveness is not easy. Perhaps easy to say but not necessarily be accepted with a sincere heart. As nice story above, we are all called to forgive everything painful in our lives, accepting them as part of life should be lived and maturing us and makes us a much better person day by day.
