学会宽容，宽容是一种美德；学会感恩，才会更懂得珍惜生命中的一切。“当有人伤害了我们，我们应该把它写进沙里，宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有

人为我们做了好事，我们应当把它刻在石头上，没有风可以将它抹去。”

被打的人感到自己受了伤害，但什么也没有说，只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话：“今天我的朋友掴了我耳光。”

他们继续前行，看见到处绿洲，他们正打算在那里洗澡时，刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭，开始深陷，他的朋友救了他。

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: quot;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?

他的朋友问：“为什么我伤你之后，你在沙子上写字，现在却把字刻在石头上？”

The other friend replied: quot;When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But whensomeone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.

他回答道：“当有人伤害了我们，我们应该把它写进沙里，宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事，我们应当把它刻在石头上，没有风可以将它抹去。”
