People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
- Proverb

Reflection of the day

The proverb "Those who have windows should not throw stones" is a variation of the better-known English sayings "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" or "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Its meaning is that those who are exposed, vulnerable, or have faults of their own should not criticize or attack others, because such accusations can easily backfire. The "windows" symbolize personal fragility or vulnerability: if you throw stones (i.e., judge or attack others), you risk others doing the same to you-striking at the weak or questionable parts of your own life.

Simply put, don't be a hypocrite: if you have flaws or shortcomings, avoid pointing fingers at others.
