The neighbor
A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while eating breakfast, the husband saw his neighbor hanging bed sheets outside. He said, “those sheets sure don’t look very clean.” His wife looked, too, but didn’t say anything.
This pattern persisted until one time, the husband said, “Look! The sheets are clean! What do you think … new detergent? Hotter water?”
The wife replied, “Or, I finally cleaned our windows!”
Moral of the Story: What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. Do not be quick to judge others.
