Question

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. There was another building not far from mine. A woman lived there. I never met her, but I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, sewing(縫紉) or reading.

After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "What a lazy woman! I wonder why she doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."

One bright morning, I decided to clean my flat(公寓), including the windows. I worked the whole morning. When I finally finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Everything in the woman's flat could be seen clearly. Her window was clean!

I began to understand. I watched the woman's window from my own dirty window. That's the problem.

From then on, whenever I want to judge someone, I ask myself at first, “Am I looking at him through my dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see others’ world clearly.
