New story, another email lol...
A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning, while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hung the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean", she said "she doesn't know how to wash correctly". "Maybe she needs a better laundry soap". Her husband looked on but remained silent. Everytime her neighbor hung her wash to dry, the young woman will make the same comments. About one month later, the young woman was surprise 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 the windows"! And so it is with life: What we see when watching others depend 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.
