Clean 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."

Wonderful story!!
But it is not always easy to find out whether our own window is clean or unclean. Similar to the story, we need external help to understand it. How can we get that help? Spending some time alone or practicing meditation may be beneficial! Any other ideas?

Haha... really a good post, and this is how people are. Without washing their own dirt, they go about cleaning the society. Old habits die hard... this will not change even after centuries. It's better to accept it and learn to live with such characters.
