THE WINDOW FROM WHICH WE LOOK

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!

How is it that clean windows require ELBOW GREASE to get clean but aren't greasy? ???

One advantage of getting a little older.  The eyes don't pick up the details as much.  Remember, around every silver lining is a dark cloud!   ::)

I guess that is why I can't see like I should. Or it could be the cataracts :o ::)
