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 who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her sitting by her
window each afternoon, sewing (缝纫) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was
unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "Why doesn"t that woman clean her window?
It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat,including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for
a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching
hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through
the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?
From then on, whenever I want to judge 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 world so that I can see others" world
more clearly. |
