DUST

Most shops choose to have transparent glass partitions as their front facades. They not only make the space look bigger from inside, but they also showcase the wares to the people walking outside. Besides they help the people inside to see the world outside.

The owner of a café would keep an eye on his competitors and share his critical observations with his customers. His favourite condemnation was about the lack of cleanliness of the shops across the road. He would point out to their dirty windows to illustrate his point.

While most customers would avoid entering into a debate with the very opinionated personality, a visiting tourist was appalled to hear the man’s criticism. He dragged the café owner to the outside and showed him that it was his own panes which were dusty while the others were spotlessly clean. The dust he noticed was on the window panes of his own shop!

Too often we find fault with others and quite often we are wearing coloured glass. To BE BETTER is to notice one’s own shortcomings and work on areas to improve. Being judgemental about others is easy. We should strive to be developmental about our own situation.

The dust that we see is quite often in our vision…
To BE BETTER let’s be careful about condemnation
