The view from the window.

 email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.

A  young couple moves into a new neighbourhood.

The next morning while they are eating breakfast,

The young woman sees her neighbour 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 neighbour 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.
