Our attitude towards dealing with people in our life shapes our character. How we deal with their positives and the negatives demonstrates what kind of a person we are. Namaste and Welcome to my blog and podcast channel ‘A Piece of my Learning’ and let us see what moral this story of two friends teach us.

    Once upon a time, there were two friends walking through the desert. At some point during the journey, they had a huge argument. One friend slapped the other one in the face in the heat of the moment.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand -

Today my best friend slapped me in the face.

    Then they kept on walking without talking to each other. A few minutes later, they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath and some rest before continuing the journey.

    The one who had been slapped suddenly got stuck in the mire and started drowning. Looking at that, the other one quickly grabbed a rope and pulled him out of the mire.

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."

    This moral is useful in all the different aspects of our life. We often let bad incidents, bad decisions, or bad thoughts affect us more than good incidents or good thoughts. The feeling of revenge has a much stronger grip on us than the feeling of forgiveness. This will only lead to us losing out on some of the best people in our lives.

The people who can forgive without any expectations are the bravest.

In the end, the only thing I would like to say is to treasure the people in your life. Thank you for being a kind reader and listener.
