The Parable "Can You Hear Me?"

A man wanted to help his wife, who he suspected had hearing problems. One evening, he stood behind her at the opposite end of the room and whispered: "Can you hear me?" There was no response, so he moved closer and repeated: "Can you hear me now?" The result was the same. He moved even closer and asked: "Can you hear me?" Still not hearing an answer, he finally repeated his question while standing right behind her. She turned to him and said: "For the fourth time, yes!" Sometimes we think something is wrong with others, but it turns out... the issue is with ourselves.
