Love your Neighbour?

Yes I cant wait for mine to move out. He is rude and ill tempered. He videos his yards to make sure the kids wont go on his lawn to grab there balls. We had a fence built together and now he has sent us the bill for thing we helped him do. I now wish he would go away mostly I have nothing to do with him but he storms over every week with one winge or another. He wont give balls back. The other neighbours are all lovely and we all get on just fine until mr grump moved in.

Lord said "love your neighbour as thyself" but You not only Love your neighbour but also forgive them. I wish to be your neighbour. lol.... Gods blessings.

What does "loving thy neighbor" mean to me? TO start, I tend to relate it to "treat others the way you want to be treated." I think that we are to show respect to all people. I know that many will not respect us back, but when we don't retaliate, it sends a message. The message is that we do try to love all people. Since there are many forms of love, I think this particular phrase means that we should do no harm to others. Also, it says to me that we should try to help others and build them up. To further this, I don't think the "neighbor" in the phrase necessarily means someone who lives closeby (like next door or across the street.) In this context, the word neighbor refers to any person who might enter your life, for whatever reason.

I don't have anything to do with my neighbors . One of my neighbors is a pervert who likes to look at young girls but has never done anything more then look , so he can't be charged and my other neighbor is an elderly lady that we don't really see too often . To be a good neighbor I believe that if you mind your own buisness and don't try to cause trouble then you are fine . It would be very hard to deal with a neighbor who was always causing problmes and was causing destruction to your property or keeping you up all night with wild parties .

It's difficult to comment on this issue as unless you have a really bad neighbour, you do not know the extent of the troubles you may face. I for one have been blessed with fairly good neighbours. Of-course there have been minor feuds and differences of opinions, but the ill feelings havnt lasted beyond the day. But yes, one needs to be tolerant with their neighbours, upto a certain limit. Never be rude if you have the chance to forgive and carry on.

I think neighbours are important in my life.In china it has a proverb that you have a good relative is inferior to close neighbors.Because when you meet some emergence trouble ,your neighbor can help you at once .But you relative canot aid you .And neighour is the clostest people to us .We should help each other and have party so as to improve emotion.

I have a neighbor who fusses with her b/f late nights and it gets on my nerves.They take the argument outside to make it even worse.Late nights they play their music very loudly.Then sometimes they are sitting in the hallway blocking the walk they are so worsimp.I dont hate them but the things the things they do gets on my last nerves.

Well do I have some ideas for you. First if the rubbish appears see if any is recyclable. Then start singing songs while picking it up. Enjoy your work and thank them. Also the loud music is cause to start your own party with their music as your backdrop. When life gives you lemons then you make lemonade. Good luck with this.

Well things are changing here our neighbors don't talk to other neighbors when I was younger the neighbors would get together nad have a block party there would be a cook out and music it was so much fun and now every body is scared to talk to everybody. I like to kow my neighbors and I would wave and say Hi just to be friendly.

Lol zandi, to tell you the truth whenever i hear that sentence it's meaning for me is to love all the people that is around you, and it does not mean only your direct neighbors. I can also tell you that i have never had any problems with my neighbours so i never really thought about that issue. I lived in the big city for the last fourteen years, and there neighbours did not really communicate. LOl. But i do know that if i had an incident with one of my neighbours due to loud music or trash and so on, i would not say anything. Because i do know that they are aware of it, and they do put trash in my yard on purpose, so i would just have a big smile on my face whenever i will see them. I know that people do get mad when you smile instead of getting angry. LOl. From my life experience. Now, if they go on doing what they do, i would go to them and tell them to stop, and see their reaction and the results the next day, if they go on. I will just go to the police and complain.

That would be the best thing to do is pick up the rubbish and put it in your trash but do this without anger and upset. Yes, it will soon end if we wait long enough. The anger and upset is what causes the problem because it builds up inside us, we are the ones it really hurts more than anyone.

I dont know what its mean by "love your neighbour". If you are unlucky enough to have a neighbour who dont show any respect to you and your privacy, then I think it is only fair to just tell them off or ignore them. I dont think neighbour is important if they are obnoxious. If we live in a neighbourhood, we should have mutual respect and not one sided.

You make some good points Zandi, however, when your neighbour is constantly blasting their music it is hard not to get irritated and fed up. Even when my kids were small they would blast their music at all hours and wake my kids. And I live in a house so you know their music has to be pretty LOUD. I wish I was as patient as you. :) cheers,

i love my neighbours.

oh,mu god! you are a good neighbour!i think neighbour can help each other!so i offten get along with my neighbour!and help them if they have something wrong or trouble!

i respect my neighbour........but if doesnot respect me i also do the same
