Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It looks terrible. "
One bright morning I decided my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window 74cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! 'The woman sitting by her window clearly. Her window was clean!
Then I to understand it. I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window, but at the time I was watching through my own dirty window.
That was quite one of the lessons for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
From then on, I want to judge（判断）someone, I ask myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own word so that I may see others' world more clearly.
