“The truth is everyone is going to hurt you.
You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
~Bob Marley

Forgive and be thankful…
Two
friends were walking and at a determined point of their trip they discussed
strongly, and because of anger one offended the other, with unjustified
insults. The other, offended and having nothing to say wrote on the sand:
"Today, my best friend offended me".
They
continued ahead and arrived to an oasis where they decided to take a
bath. The offended one started to drown, and his friend saved him.
When
he recuperated he took the stylus and wrote on a stone: "Today, my best
friend saved my life". Intrigued, the friend asked: "Why
after I insulted you, you wrote on the sand and now instead you write on a
stone?"
Smiling
the other friend answered: "When a friend offends us, we should write on
the sand, where the wind of forgetfulness and forgiveness will be in charge of
erase it and turn it off. But when he helps us, we should engrave it on
the stone of the heart memory, where no wind will be able to erase it."
The friendships
worth letting the small stuff go for…
We have to remember true friends are not supernatural beings with supernatural powers; they are human beings who
have their own burdens, problems which at times take over moments…lives… The
key thing to remember when dealing with friends
worth holding on to is that any negative behaviour from them towards you is temporary, it quickly will be replaced by love actions
Hurts are often the result of: a
misunderstanding, a perceived misplaced loyalty, a poor judgment call, words
said while grumpy, words said while angry, and words not chosen carefully
enough. They can also be a result of: passive aggressive humor, frustration, a
forgotten return call, mistaking simple insensitivity for an intentional insult
or offense, or many other things but not a reflection of a lost friendship or
betrayal…
To the one walking with us through our thick and thin...
