A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees
her neighbor hanging 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 neighbor 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.
