A couple moved into a new neighborhood. One morning while they were eating breakfast the wife looked out the window and saw her neighbor hanging her laundry out to dry. She noticed the laundry was dingy and dirty. She said to her husband, "That neighbor lady doesn't know how to do laundry. Her clothes aren't clean. I bet she doesn't even use detergent."
Day after day went by and each morning she would make the same comments to her husband. "I can't believe the neighbor doesn't know how to do laundry. I can't believe she lets her family wear such dingy-looking clothes." It bothered her so, she began to call and tell all her friends about the neighbor that couldn't do laundry.
A few weeks later, doing her usual routine, the wife looked out the window and was surprised that the clothes were as clean and bright as could be. She yelled for her husband to come look at this wonder. "Look honey, I can't believe it. She finally learned how to do laundry. I wonder what happened. I wonder who helped her."
The husband smiled and said, "Honey, I helped you. I got up early this morning and cleaned our window."
So don't be so quick to judge and spread your opinion of others. In this story, the wife has all her friends thinking this neighbor can't do laundry when in all actuality, the wife didn't know how to wash her own window. She was she perceived to be imperfect was perfect. The problem started with her. You must always check yourself before you try to check others. Things are not always what they seem.
