A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The wife criticizes her neighbor's laundry, saying she doesn't know how to wash correctly. This goes on for a month until one day the laundry looks clean. The husband says he cleaned their windows that morning, implying that her critical view of her neighbor was due to the "impurity of the window" through which she looked. The document concludes by saying that what we see in others depends on our own state of mind, and we should check ourselves before judging others.
2. 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.
3. That laundry is
not very clean,
she said,
she doesnt know
how to wash
correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry
soap.
Her husband looked on, but remained
silent.
.
4. Every time her
neighbor would hang
her wash to dry, the
young woman would
make the same
comments.
5. 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.
7. 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.

8. And oh yes! I
almost forgot.
I see you today
much clearer than I
did yesterday
And you?
