How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked 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 may see the world about me clearly.6.
