What does people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones really mean?

The saying "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" means that you shouldn't criticize others since no one is perfect, especially if your criticism of others is something you, yourself, may be guilty of from time to time.

If your afraid of getting cut, dont throw glass at a stone house.

Answer 3

Well, throwing rocks into glass windows breaks them, so we can conclude throwing rocks into entire homes of glass is a very bad idea. I'm not totally sure what it means, but I think it's something like "Know your limits."

Answer 4

Those most vulnerable should be the last to attack (and invite a retaliation), not the first. The irony is that those who are most vulnerable (that is, most guilty of what they are accusing others of doing) are the first to accuse (throw stones.) They accuse others in the hopes that their words will deflect attention from their own faults. Thus, we see politicians campaigning noisily against something they later are caught doing themselves.
