Forget the Wrongs, Remember the Rights

Value: Right conduct

Sub-Value: Forgiving, Gratitude

Two friends were walking through the desert. At some point in the journey, they had an argument, and the first friend slapped the other one on the face.

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

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME ON THE FACE.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The second friend who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the first friend saved him. This time his friend wrote on a stone:

TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.

The first friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “When I hurt you, you wrote on the sand, and now, when I saved you, you write on a stone. Why?”

The second friend replied, “When someone hurts us we should write it down on sand because winds of forgiveness can erase it completely. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where nothing can ever erase it.”

Do not value things you have in your life, But value people who matter in your life.
