Love Your Neighbour As Yourself.

Who is your neighbour?

Definitions from the New Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary defines a neighbour as one living next door or relatively close to another, a person or thing situated near or relatively near to another.

I like to define a neighbour as someone living within your district at least one kilometer within your neighbourhood with whom you share a common interest.

New Webster failed to address something about that definition; that is someone living relatively close to you but doesn’t share a common interest or which you are not in good terms with, meaning he/she hates you; is your enemy.

Why Love Your Neighbour As Yourself?

Love doctors have various antidotes to various love problems, come to think about it life and love are interwoven, what you out into life is what you get out of it. Also, what you put into your relationship (good or bad) is what you will get out of it. Showing love to your partner gives him/her the idea that your love for him/her is never ending and genuine.

The mistakes most us make is to jump and take a deep plunge into a relationship not trying to stop and think if this person really cares about you. This is the first step to take after show love to your partner (neighbour).

I knew a guy who detested going out or getting to know any of his pals’ girlfriends, he just said no when invited on outings and dates.

He was pushed and persuaded but he stood his ground. One day, a get together was going on in his friend’s apartment that was about leaving the country for a year’s program aboard. While the party was going on the celebrant’s girlfriend had an asthmatic attack, instead of mike the boyfriend looking for a solution he was in the backyard drinking with some of his friends and when told what had just happened he just replied saying; I thought I told her to put her inhaler in her pocket.

Jake, Mike’s friend on hearing this, jumped up and ran out 5blocks away from the party to a pharmacy but it had been closed, he then remembered he had an asthmatic friend in his building. Quickly he ran over there, got the inhaler and got back to the party right in time to resuscitate the girl. While Julia was in the hospital getting better, Rashida her friend who was at the party told her all that had happened.

Julia felt bad and after she was discharged, she decided to go to Jake’s apartment to thank him. After doing that before leaving she put this question to him; Jake i was told by the doctor that if you hadn’t done what you did I won’t be alive today. Why did you go through all that stress to help me?

He replied say; I won’t be able to ever forgive myself if i didn’t get help for you, because hate seeing people in a helpless condition. With those words she felt loved, coupled with the stupid remark Mike had made the night of the party, she broke up with him some months after he traveled out and started a new relationship with Jake.

Now you can see how an unconscious act of love and care won Jake a new girlfriend and a happy life, it shows that loving your neighbour brings unlimited rewards, if not now maybe in the nearest future. So start showing love to your neighbour today, because love makes the world go round.
