A story tells that two friends, John and Mark were walking through the
desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and John slapped Mark in the face. Mark was hurt, but without saying anything, he 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. Mark got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend, John saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, Mark, carved on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life.
John, who had slapped and saved Mark, asked Mark, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?"
Mark replied: "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the 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.
