How We Treat People, It Matters
“The stuff that matters in life is no longer stuff. It’s other people. It’s relationships.”
– Brian Chesky
“People matter more than things.”
– Robert L. Millet
As truly said – Write your hurts in the sands so that the winds of forgiveness erase them, and crave your blessings in stone.”
Let’s read the below story to understand the meaning of the quote!
Two friends were walking through the desert. At one stage in their journey, they had an argument and one friend slapped the other one on the face. The one who got slapped 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 have a wash. The one who had been slapped got stuck in a mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he recovered from his shock, he wrote on a stone, “today my best friend saved my life.”
The friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you right in the stone, why?”
The other friend 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 the stone when no Wind can ever erase it.
Moral of the Story
