A Laundry Basket Filled With Dirty Clothes

 

**Dirty Laundry.**  Source Unknown.

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood.

The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor
hanging the washing outside.

“That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps
she needs better laundry soap.”

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same
comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and 
said to her husband, “Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder
who taught her this?”

The husband replied, “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 clarity 
of the window through which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is
clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.

_“Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are.”_

Can you recall a time when others misjudged you, but changed in their opinion?
