Nothing special..

Today, I read something really meaningful, again, so I think I should post it here, I think some might have read it before but its still meaningful to me…

Sand and Stone
: TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKINGTHROUGH 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 IT 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.'


Last week, I had an argument with my friend. One of my best friend. Actually it was about his behavior. Non had know about his personality. He actually looks like a happy person and every time coming up with some stupid idea to make every one laugh. But actually inside him he was just suffering…

Well, I don’t feel like talking bout other’s privacy so I will just keep it short. Well, is it that being a caring to friend is a sin? I don’t felt sinful but I think maybe just our way and definition of caring was different. Or, sometimes just the way we do it makes them felt pressuring. But I don’t understand what’s the matter of standing out and face the problems?

Sometimes, I think we should just learn to let go of something that doesn’t belong to us and continue with what we have. Feeling bad about having it, why don’t let it go them???
Ah! Just another crappy thingy, well, good luck everyone for the up coming weeks! Mid term is near! Ja!



"Some times when we people looks up to the sky, the Nation of God above the clouds…for us it seems like a dream, or a fancy fantasy. But, if we listen carefully with full concentration, we will able to hear the bell that comes from ten thousand miles above us. Today we heard it. Tomorrow we will hear it too. The bell that is loud above the sky, is the song of glory that sings and praises the mother land…” – One Piece
