They say that 12 % of people hate their neighbors, that a
third have never met their neighbors and that half don’t know their neighbors’
names. How are yours? At one time I was living in the neighborhood
that I had always dreamed of, great neighbors who care about their lawns, we
took care of the elderly that lived close by helping with window washing and
lawn mowing. I still know most of my
neighbors but not all, at one time I knew every single family that lived on my
side of the block and about half of those across the street. With our society as it is with it being so
fluid, people have moved in and out of the neighborhood, and I don’t know if I
just got lazy and content with my space, but the friendships that I once had
with lots of neighbors has whittled down to the few of the neighbors who I’ve
become good friends with. Do you reach
out to know your neighbors, or not?
