It was about 5:30 in the afternoon when i have nothing to do in my computer. So, I opened my email and read some messages from my friend named Arman. As I read his message entitled Sand And Stone, I realized that having a friend is easy but having a true friend is not that easy. As the time passed by, both of you may experience misunderstanding to test your relationship, both of you may hurt each others feelings which may lead the pain into scars.
Sand And Stone reminds me of my closed friend, we still have misunderstanding and never tried to talk again to settle the issue because of our pride. I waited him to approach me to say SORRY but he didn't. Instead, he chose to dwell on his pride and utter words that really caused me into pain.
I forgot all the good things he have done in my life in exchange of his mistake and now i wanted to forget him. I am such a mean girl!
Anyway, I am sharing this very touching poem...
two friends were walking
through the desert.
during some 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
saying anything,
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 had been
slapped got stuck in the
mire ! and started drowning,
but the friend saved him.
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 friend replied
'when someone hurts us
we should write i t 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.'
learn to write
your hurts in
the sand and to
carve your
benefits in stone.
they say it takes a
minute to find a special
person, an hour to
appreciate them, a day
to love them, but then
an entire life
to forget them.
I just hope we can still be friends and write the hurts in the sand and carve the benefits in the stone...

Friendship, like marriage, needs working out from time to time. It is when friends become most comfortable with each other that certain characteristics come out that will somehow, in some ways, create grudges between themselves. Nevertheless, it is never painful nor regretful to be most humble and forgiving. Of course, it will definitely need some time to heal and let the pain pass. Still, it's a more happier feeling when you forgive. It doesn't matter who gives in first...what matters most is you tried to work things out.
Hi Lyz, I hope my attempt of sharing my wisdom could somehow help clear you head. Mwah mwah...
