The Window...
Before we see and interpret , it is important to clear our perspectives firstly. Read on...
A young couple moves to a new neighborhood.The next morning when they are having breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside. "The 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 but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, she made the same comments.
After some days, the young woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and turned to her husband saying " Look , she learned how to wash her laundry. I wonder who taught her this". Hearing this, her husband said " I woke up early this morning and cleaned the window".
And so is with life. What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we see.
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 looking for something in the person we are about to judge.
