Ali went on a short trip with his friends Jimmy and Mark. When the 3 of them went up on a hill, Mark accidentally lost his balance and fell. Just when he thought he was heading towards the bottom of the steep slope, his friend Jimmy quick-wittedly caught hold of his shirt, pulled it with all his might and finally got him up safe. Mark was grateful to Jimmy for saving his life. In remembrance of this, Mark found a rock nearby and carved these words on it, ‘Jimmy saved Mark’s life on XX (day) XX (month) XXXX (year)’.

The three of them carried on with their journey. A few days later, they came by a river when Jimmy and Mark suddenly got into an argument due to a trivial matter. In a fit of anger, Jimmy gave Mark a slap on his face. Mark on the other hand kept himself in control. He did not retaliate. Instead, he ran to the beach and wrote these words with all his strength on the sand, ‘Jimmy slapped Mark on XX (day) XX (month) XXXX (year)’.

This unusual trip finally came to an end. One day, Ali asked Mark curiously, ‘Why did you carve on the rock about Jimmy saving your life but write on the sand about him hitting you?’ Mark replied calmly, ‘I will forever remember and be grateful to Jimmy for saving my life. As for the hitting incident, I will slowly let it disappear from my mind with the movement of the sand.’

Many can remember the kindness they have received from others but cannot let go of the hatred feel for some people. Learn to remember forever the grace and kindness others have shown towards you. Carve them in the rocks and in your heart and use them to motivate you in helping others in future. Forget intentionally all the grudge and hatred you have for others. Let these trivial matters leave your life forever. Your path in life will then get broader and you will experience true happiness.

    Very very true!
    I totally agree with you, Honman.

    We must learn to remember forever the grace and kindness others have shown to us by carving them in our heart and use them to motivate us in helping others. However, we must forget all the grudge and hatred we have for others.

    Thanks for another great lesson!
    You are doing great. Keep it up, my friend.

    Blessings to you, Honman.

    Thanks for inspiring me. We should always be grateful for the kindness of others and make it as inspiration for us to pay it forward to others,and forget hatred and anger within us for sometimes it can destroy our relationship with others…

    Love & Gratitude,
    Tina
