Write on the sand...

Just wanna share this positive thoughts which I received from a friend.
It’s about a story between best friends who got lost on desert. A huge fray came along as they walk upon the scorching sands, one of the man slapped the other right on his face. The one who got slapped, feel so anguish and hurt. Without saying a word, he inscribe something on the sand.
“Today, best friend of mine slapped my face,” that words written on the sand just to overcome his sorrow by the incident.
Then this two friends continue their journey, and found an oasis right in the middle of the desert. The man who got slapped previous eager to swim in the oasis to refresh his mind. Unfortunately, the pond is quite deep and he’s drowning into it, and his best friend work hard to rescue him. After he conscious and his fear disappear, he write again. But this time he carve the words on a stone.
“Today my best friend save my life,”
His friend so curious with this action and then he ask, “Why, after I hurt your heart you write on the sand, and this time you write something on a stone?,”
The other man smile in solemn, “When our friend hurt your heart, it is good to inscribe our feeling on the sand, so when the wind of forgiving come, it will swept away the pain we’ve wrote on that sand. But, when a friend do any single good deed to us, try to carve the on a stone. So we’ll always remember it in mind and nothing able to efface it away,”
Here in our daily life, argue, debate, dispute, are inevasible since human have their own point of view. Therefore, try to forgive and forget the past. Let’s learn to write on the sand when something awful happen to be in front of us.
I begin to remember memorable moments from our beloved prophet, he taught us well that love and compassion is part of faith. He never forget any good deed from a friend, and try to remember it and repay all decent deed as hard as he can.
As a human, something it is easier for our lips to say, “okay I forgive you,” but it’s kind a hard to admit that we really already forget any mistake that people did to us. I guess we have to learn purify our thoughts and heart from unworthy feelings, like hatred, envy, or any other heart disease.

Dear Dewi,

It takes a lot of courage and big-open-heart to really acknowledge a good deed done by others, as to me, I am still learning ;-), It also not easyto do the "forgive-forget" things, as surely does it takes a heel of a lot to really walk the talk.. However I am trying, and still trying..

One thing, I know that your blog entry is also tryingto remind me to always keep on trying to good deeds for other - continuously.

My warm regards from the coast of West Africa!

Cheers,
;-)
