The Window from Which We Look
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.
The next morning while they are eating breakfast,
The young 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.
had they been in the army,they would have been executed the next day for having such faulty info.
the moral of the story is "What u see is NOT what you get?"
not really
exact answer i dun have, but it's quite close
it means to stop and think what ur seeing
does what u see and think match?
The morale of the story is: often when we see faults in others, it is actually a reflection of our imperfection in our own nature which we fail to see. So stop pointing fingers at others and look at our own faults first. An aphorism from Si Chinmoy states: 'the difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourself.'
There is a worker at my work place who always like to critisize others when her own work attitude stinks like shit.
