The_ Window

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next


morning, while they are eating breakfast,
the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.

That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know how
to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her
neighbour would hang her wash to dry, the young woman
would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a
nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:
"Look! She has learned how to wash correctly.
I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said: "I got up early this morning
and cleaned our windows!"

And so it is with life:

"What we see when watching others depends on the
purity of the window through which we look. Before we
give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our
state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see
the good rather than to be looking for something in the
person we are about to judge. "
