A short story ...
Two friends were walking through the desert. At one point, both started arguing and one of the friends hit the other in his face. The one who was hit was hurt, without uttering a single word. He sat down and wrote in the sand,
"Today My Best Friend Hit me in the Face".
They carried on walking, until they reached an oasis, they wanted to freshen up and started to bathe. The friend who was hit in the face, got caught in the mud and was about to drown when his other friend saved his life. After he recovered he took a stone and carved into it,
"Today My Best Friend Saved My life".
Puzzled the other friend inquired, "why a stone, earlier you wrote in the sand?"
He looked up and smiled and said,
"When I was hurt, I wrote in the sand so that the wind can blow it, but when you saved my life I carved it on the stone. so that the wind can never blow it away".
We have to learn to write our pain in the Sand. The wind by blowing it away can help us to forgive. But the good moments have to be carved on the stone, so that we never forget them. Nature has given us many gifts,which are all around us. They teach us,
"Lets make time to live!"

I guess HAD Brutus not been such a good orator and moved into the Pulpit first to give reasons, for killing Ceasar. Antony may not have used those words...
i maybe wrong...please correct me.
sometimes U need the help of EVIL to kill EVIL and let good prevail!

reminds me...Similar analogy why Godess Saraswati (Godess of learning) sits on a rock (indicates that learning is stable and permanent) and Godess Lakshmi on waters. Needless to say what that indicates...
