Two friends were walking through the desert.
In a specific point of the journey,
they had an argument,
and one friend slapped the other one in the face.
The one, who got slapped, was hurt,
but without anything to say, 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.
The one who got slapped and hurt started drowning,
and the other friend saved him.
When he recovered from the fright,
he wrote on a stone:
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE".
The friend who saved and slapped his best friend, asked him,
"Why, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand,
and now you write on a stone?"
The other friend, smiling, replied:
"When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand,
where the winds of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away,
and when something great happens,
we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart,
where no wind can erase it"
Learn to write in the sand.

Dikutip dari yourlifehappiness,
hari ini gw mengangkat tema tentang FRIENDSHIP lagi. :)
Dalam sebuah persahabatan, tidak jarang terjadi permasalahan dan perselisihan yang membuat salah satu pihak merasa disakiti.
Ada pihak yang menyakiti, ada pihak yang disakiti.
Tetapi ingatlah bahwa tidak ada gunanya menyimpan dendam.
Tulislah kekesalan dan masalah kalian di atas pasir,
di mana saat angin berhembus maka kekesalan kalian pun hilang dalam terpaan angin.
Saat terjadi suatu hal yang membahagiakan antara kalian,
ukirlah kenangan itu di atas batu;
angin pun tidak akan menghapus kenangan itu.
Tidak berarti dilakukan secara harafiah sih menurut gw.
Yang pasti, saat kita kesal kepada sahabat kita,
jangan dipendam lama-lama.
Maafkan dan lupakan...
Saat kebahagiaan hadir di tengah-tengah kalian,
ingat dan kenanglah masa-masa itu.
Jangan dilupakan.
"Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. "
(Swedish Proverb)
+Lyrics of the day+
Friendship is rare,
Do you know what I'm sayin' to you?
Friendship is rare.
My derriere,
When you find out much later
That they don't really care.
It's rare to me, can't you see?
It's rare to me, can't you see?
(Friendship by Tenacious D)
