Hatred : No place in Friendship

There were two good old friends, Gopal and Govind. Gopal had a unique habit of writing things on sand, wall anywhere instantly.

Once these two friends were walking alongside the beach and discussing something. Suddenly the discussion landed up in heated arguments. Govind wanted to stress his point but Gopal would disagree. In a fit of anger Govind slapped Gopal. Gopal was stunned by this behaviour of his friend. He did not react but instantly wrote with his finger on the sand that"Today Govind slapped me" They walked further quietly not talking to each other.

After walking together for quite sometime a little further there was an open ground full of water.
Gopal did not notice and slipped on it. Govind immediately rushed to pick up his friend. He lifted him up, cleaned him and hugged him. Seeing sudden change in his friend, he saw a stone and quickly wrote down in bold letters "today Govind helped me, he cleaned me"

Govind was surprised and found it very funny. He asked Gopal "When I slapped you, you wrote on the sand and when I helped and cleaned you, you wrote on the stone. What is the reason?:

Gopal smiled and replied "Oh! dear friend, I want to forget the bad experiences so that they get washed away in sand, but your good deeds I do not want to forget so I wrote it on stone"

This is true and lasting friendship. We should not breed feeling of hatred towards our friend at least. Nurture the good moments spent with your friend so that we find a true and lasting relation to rely on.

Are we doing it? Let's be honest about this.
