The eraser said in pencil:

“How are you, my friend?”

The pencil replied angrily:

“I’m not your friend…

I hate you

The eraser said with astonishment and sadness:

–What for?

The pencil retorted:

Because you erase everything I write…

The eraser replied:

“I only erase mistakes.

The pencil:

“What does that have to do with you?”

The eraser:

“I’m an eraser and it’s my job.

The pencil:

“It’s not a job.

The eraser:

“My work is as useful as yours.”

The pencil:

“You are wrong and you are pretentious, because the one who writes is better than the one who erases…”

The eraser:

Deleting the error is equivalent to writing what is good…

The pencil was silent for a moment and then he said with a little sadness:

“But I see you getting shorter day after day.

The eraser:

– Because I sacrifice something of myself every time I erase a mistake from you

The pencil says:

I also feel shorter every day than I was…

The eraser said in consolation to him:

We can only be useful to others by making a sacrifice for them…”

Then the eraser looked at the pencil with great kindness and said:

Do you still hate me?…

The pencil smiled and said:

How can I hate you when you have brought us together by sacrifice?”

Eraser or Pencil? Please be one or the other

Know that every time you wake up, your life decreases by a day…“If you can’t be a pencil to write about the happiness of others, be a soft eraser that erases their sorrows and spreads hope and optimism in their souls so that their future is better.”

This world,
