The Window

A young couple moves into a new neighbourhood.
The next morning, while they having breakfast, the young women sees her neighbor hand the wash outside.  That laundry was not 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 hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make some 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 as 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 sate of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.
