What are the Conditions of Your Eyes?

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood.

The next morning, while eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging some newly-washed clothes in the open yard.

"Those clothes are not clean", she said. "Doesn't she know how to wash clothes?"

Her husband looked on, but remained silent.

It was always like this each time the neighbor comes out into the yard to hang her clothes. The young woman would make the same comments to her husband.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see some nice, clean clothes hanging on the line in the yard.

"Look..." she told her husband. "Our neighbor has finally learned to wash clothes properly..."

The husband looked at her, shook his head and said.

"I got up early this morning to clean our windows."

"So..." the woman was stunned."The problem was with our dirty windows...and not the clothes?"

And so it is with life ... what we see while observing other people depends on the condition of our eyes---are they pure or tainted with prejudice and stereotypes?
