A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.The next morning while they are eating breakfast, theyoung woman sees her neighbor hanging the 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, depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

I can not judge anyone else'e laundry for my windows are sure dirty.
This is such a good reminder for me. I am always hypercritical of others, but not so good at checking my own outlook.
My mother sent me this today! This is so true. We see things as dirty only because we know clean. The great duality of life!
inspired, This is great. I am reminded of a song, but I don't quite know how it goes...something about ,open the windows of my heart, Lord. down know why but that's what it triggered...who knows...stay well....
Oh, now this is rich. Thanks so much! I haven't been by in a while, Jackie. (What's the matter w/ me?) Now I have to catch up on what I've been missing!
