Dirty Laundry

Somewhere the other day Kadizzle came across a story that condenses a lot of advice into a short story. Here we go. .

A man and his wife got up every day and had coffee.  One Monday when they sat at the table having coffee the wife looked out the window and saw the new neighbor woman hanging out her laundry.  The wife remarked to her husband about what a poor job the woman had done with the laundry.  She commented that the white clothes were dinger and nowhere near clean.  The next Monday the same thing happened and the wife remarked that she might have to show the woman how to do laundry.

The following week having coffee with her husband the wife looked out at the neighbor's laundry and remarked " Someone must have shown her the correct way to do the wash, it looks clean and very nice". The husband replied " No dear, I cleaned the window.

We all see life through a window.  It is our window.  Maybe the answer to so many of our problems is to understand we are looking through a window, and maybe we should clean our window.  Some of us look out the Fox News window, some the MSNBC window.  Either way there is distortion.  Think of the windows we look through, the religious window, the white window, the economic window, and the age window.  Until you understand you are looking out the window you will see a lot of dirty laundry.
