A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The wife criticizes her neighbor's laundry hanging skills, saying the clothes are dirty and she doesn't know how to wash correctly. One month later, the wife notices the neighbor's laundry is clean and wonders who taught her. The husband reveals he cleaned their windows that morning. What we see in others depends on the purity of our own perspective. We should check our state of mind before criticizing and look for the good instead of faults.
