Window

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning while

they were eating breakfast, the young woman watched her neighbor hanging

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 may depend on the purity

of the window through which we look.
