This video is a little bit cheesy, but hits the nail right on the head.
I know all of us have our own "dirty windows" that could use some cleaning. Most of us make these mistakes every day. Just because someone has sins or makes mistakes that you don't particularly have a hard time with doesn't mean that you are better than them. We all have our own temptations and weaknesses that we struggle with, and let's face it, every single one of us messes up every day. Instead of judging others based on their sins and mistakes, try to fix your own. As Dieter F. Uchtdorf once said, "Don't judge me because I sin differently from you."
The Savior teaches us in this simple story, that none of us on this earth are worthy to judge anybody else, no matter who it may be, for their sins or mistakes. "He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." None of us are without sin. How often do we find ourselves doing this very thing. Obviously not literally calling people out on it all the time, but in our thoughts. It is so easy to judge others and look down on them because of their problems, but we all need to remember that we all have things to fix. Ghandi once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Instead of criticizing others for what they are doing wrong, we need to change ourselves for the better, and in turn, we will see the world as a more beautiful place.
Don't set out to change the world, set out to change yourself; the rest will fall into place.
