A beautiful Arab legend says that two friends traveling through the desert and at a given point trip discussed. The other, offended, nothing to say, wrote in the sand:


"Today my best friend slapped ME IN THE FACE."


They went ahead and arrived at an oasis where bathing resolved. He who had been slapped and hurt started drowning, being saved by the friend. To recover, he took a stylus and wrote on a stone:


"Today my best friend saved my life."


Intrigued, the friend asked: Why after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone?


Smiling, the other friend replied:


"When a good friend offends us, we write in the sand where the wind of forgetfulness and forgiveness charge to erase and off, on the other side when we pass something great, we burn the stone of the heart's memory where wind none in the world can erase. "
