A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning, whilethey are having their
breakfast,
the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn't know
how towash correctly.
Perhaps she needs a better laundry soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make
the samecomment.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice cleanwash 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
ourwindows!'
And so it is with life:
'What we see when watching others depends onthe purity of the window through which we look.
Before we give anycriticism, 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. '
