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.
