April 5, 2011 1:12pm CST
In these days of so much criminal activities increasing by leaps and bounds, the most important measure to be adopted by everybody is to maintain a good neighbourly relations for spontaneous help. But it is a matter of great regret that in most cases we fail miserably in doing so and ultimately pay the price.

Hi. DoctorDidi. This is true. I also feel that to be in good relations with your neighbors, one must respect each others home and property. Neighbors should not come over when they are not invited. They should give each other their own personal space. They should not be a burden to each other. They should be friendly and not nosy. It is nice for them to keep a watch out for each others homes. Neighbors are great people to have only when they are kind and respectable. If they are not nosy and aggravating then they can build a relationship that can result in a possible long lasting relationship too.

I also agree with you that they should be friendly but not a burden to each other. They will help but never interfere with each other's life unless asked for.

and in much shorter words if you are good with everyone in your neighborhood it is unlikely that anything will happen in your neighborhood

People in urban areas, are usually difficult to establish good relationships with neighbors, and did not even know each other. However, in the countryside, good relations between neighbors can be interwoven with ease. In good relationships, we need to leave the ego, mutual respect and mutual understanding.

hello DD, This is very true. I remember someone says that,we must keep a good relationship with neighbors cause they're the ones who's gonna help us,or easily to reach out than our relatives who lives miles away. Very true,in times of emergency we can't just call our family and relatives to come over when they lived miles away. So,we should maintain a good relationship with our neighbors. have a great day

Yes, if a good relationship among the neighbors can be maintained, we can easily fight unitedly against the criminals and I am sure if we can do so, they will definitely flee from the area and will never dare come back.

Yes, some call neighbourhood watch. Neighbours take care of each other and be concerns for each other.That is the most effective way to curb petty crimes in your neighbourhood. It is like taking a global or national problem of crime and tackling at a local level.

That's right. We should keep a good relationship with our neighbors. Because the're the closest us. And If we meet any difficult such as suddenly sick, they'll be the first people who can help us.

Sometimes no matter how much we prepare there can and could be the bad luck of the draw to have bad neighbors steal from you. However, I find if we did take time out to know who they are that we somehow can have them be our eyes and ears. We in turn would do the same watching our for their things as well. In this day age sadly we are all too busy and rushed and do not think about the fact on how helpful this could be.

You are right, we maintain good relations not just with our neighbors but as much as possible with the neighborhood or even in the whole subdivision. ( I live in a subdivision where most of the people know each other especially the old families or those who moved in during the 70's and 80's). Although every homeowner or resident should be responsible for himself, we cannot discount any help or assistance a good neighbor has to offer especially during emergencies.

Well,you are absolutely correct. My father is not good at having good relations with our neighbors and i hated it so badly.i always say to my father that you must try to be good to your neighbors because in times of emergencies,neighbors may be your good samaritans.i hope my father will change that attitude.good thing he did not pass that attitude to me.
