Other Answers:
If you are in a vulnerable position, dont attack others
It means you should not attack how someone else lives, because you have a weakness that could be threatened as well. It means before commenting about some other person you should check ur own life.its like ordering ur friend to study hard for the exams when you urself have failed in the exam..I hope you got it.
It means that you shouldn't do or say something to some one cause you could get something back.
It means that U should not criticize other people or be in somebody's else buisness too much, when u have ur own problems and issuses.. something like that
It means that you should not attack or talk badly about people when you are doing the same thing. For example: you should not call a girl a sl ut when you, yourself have slept with ten people in one night. means.when u r in a vulnerable (read 'fragile')condition ur self dont attack others..
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stonesThis cultural expression means that a person who has his or her own faults, should not point out the faults of others
Taken literally, if a person's house was really made of glass and could easily be shattered by anyone, then that person probably shouldn't be throwing rocks at passers-by, right? Any one of them could chuck a rock at your house and knock the whole thing down.
So, taken "figuratively":
If your car is a piece of junk, then you shouldn't criticize someone else's car.
If you are a overweight, then don't call someone else fat.
If your school grades are bad, then don't joke about someone else who isn't too bright.
Etc. It means you are in a situation where hurting others will hurt you just as much. By throwing the stone, you will hurt them, but living in a glass house, one shouldn't be throwing anything.
