Passage Two

It seems to me that n eighbors are going out of style in America. The friend next door from whomyou borrowed four eggs or a ladder has moveda nd the people in there no ware stra ngers. Some of the traditional

stories of neighborliness

are

impractical or silly, and it may be just as well that our relations with our neighbors are changing. The saying in the Bible \"Love Thy Neighbor\" was probably a poor translation of what must have origi nally bee n -Respect Thy Neighbor.\" Love can't be called up on order. Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five ears ago, so there's no reason to love the people who live next door to you just because they happened to wander into a real estate office that listed the place next door to yours. The only thing n eighbors have in com mon ,to begi n with, is proximity, and uni ess someth ing more develops, that isn't

reas on eno ugh to be

best frien ds. It sometimes happe ns n aturally, but the cha nces are very small that your frien ds.Or

n eighbors will be your choice as

that you will be theirs,either.The best

relati on ship with n eighbors is one of frie ndly dista nee. You say hello, you small-talk if you see them in the yard, you discuss problems as they arise and you help each other in an emergency. The driveway or the fence between you is not really a cold shoulder,but a clear boun dary.We all like clearly-defined boundaries for ourselves.
