45The wife and the window
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.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. 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.

Hi
It is true that there are really bad people in each and every part of the world, but the moral here is eventhough we cannot change others atleast we can change our perspective towards the world and be happpyyy instead of pondering how we can change the world and make our life miserable.

Hi, Good one. Many times we look at some one the way we want to. This habit is to be improved upon. Not to get prejudised and look at others is an art. Thanks for the post. Regards, Sudhir

Thank you S Dhanraj for the story and Licdo for giving the visual effect.
A very good message.
In Self Improvement, INTROSPECTION is the first step.
That we may be wrong, is easily accepted when we realize it ourselves.
It is a pain, when others point out to us.
So before raising a finger on others, we must do soul searching.
A lovely moral.
Thanks to both of you for sharing.the posting.
