The Window
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the
young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
That laundry is not very
clean, she said, she doesn’t know how to wash 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 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. Before we give any criticism, 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.
And oh yes! I almost forgot….
I see you today much clearer than I did yesterday… And you?
Wishing you the best …
