第25章 記憶中的傷害與恩澤

字體:16+-

Sand and Stone

佚名/Anonymous

有這樣一則故事:兩個朋友徒步穿行沙漠。旅行途中,他們發生了爭執。其中一人打了另一人一記耳光。

被打耳光的那個人很傷心,但他沉默不語,隻在沙地上寫道:“今天,我最好的朋友打了我一耳光。”

他們繼續前行,終於發現了一片綠洲。於是,他們決定洗個澡。結果,被打的那個人陷入了泥潭,眼看就要淹死了,幸好他的朋友救了他。

他蘇醒後,就在一塊石頭上刻道:“今天,我最好的朋友救了我的命。”

打他耳光又救了他的那個朋友問道:“我打了你後,你在沙子上寫字;現在你又在石頭上刻字。這是為什麽呢?”

朋友回答說:“受到傷害時,我們應該把它記在沙子上,這樣,寬恕之風會將它撫平。受到恩惠時,我們應該把它刻在石頭上,這樣,沒有什麽能將它抹掉。”

我們應學會把傷害記在沙地上,把恩澤刻在石頭上。

人們常說,找到一個特別的人隻需一分鍾,欣賞他需一小時,愛上他隻需一天,而忘記他,卻要用一生的時間。

把這句話送給那些讓你永生難忘的人,讓他們知道你永遠不會忘記他們吧。

終生不忘。

The story goes that 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?"
